Is there an registry entry or a service that enables or disables the ability
of an XP system to answer on PING? I might have switcehd of something by
mistake.

I have XP professional SP1, trendmicro office scan, NO SP2, no other
antivirus or adaware. No firewall on. I can PING out everything, Mail,
Internet shared disks. all fine.

BUT while boot I can be seen, pinged. After Boot finished, Login window on
screen the system disapears and can not be pinged any more.

It is especially sh...y as the support team needs to login remote to ...and
now suggest TO REINSTALL all from scratch...

Any clue why my system goes steahlthy?
Regards

Are you sure you don't have a firewall? What version of OfficeScan? Latest
v. includes a firewall. Your support team ought to know this, frankly....
 
Ought is correct but the don't

Funny thing is that it occurs only with 2 users in our department. Both can
work fine, mail, internet but can not be seen taht means the helpdesk cannot
log in.

Not that I want them to login. I have to allow it.

In secure mode I remain pingable that is why I thought it might be a service.
Went troug registry and even insalled TuneUp to see if there are some flags
I need to change.

Any way to get around reinstall??

Double check your firewall settings, look in add/remove programs for other
apps (some antivirus software includes security features like firewalls).

Probably, but more research on your side will be needed....msconfig startup
give you any ideas?
