Help
I have two XP computers each connected by a network, on
each computer the file sharing and printer sharing works
just fine. When i go to play a lan game an error message
comes up on one of the two saying "the tcp/ip is not
enabled", while on the other xp it works fine. I have
tried to configure the ip and they work fine, i dont know
what to do.
Someone Please help me or reply by e-mail.
Thanks
Ted
 
What do you mean when you say "I have tried to configure
the ip and they work fine"?

Do you mean you've checked the IP settings on the machine
giving you the error message?
 
I have traced several of these problems to improperly configured winsock
LSPs. Run "winmsd" and go to Components/Network/Protocol. Look at the
names in the list, anything with "MSAFD" in it or the "RSVP xxx Service
Provider" should be fine. Anything else is suspect, and uninstalling the
owning program might help.

If that fails or your provider list is empty, you may need to rebuild the
catalog from scratch. The following instructions will rebuild your catalog
for TCP/IP. If you are using any other transports (If you don't know, then
you probably aren't) then you will have to reinstall them as well.


1. Backup and delete the following registry keys

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

2. Reboot

3. Go to the network connections folder, right click the icon for your
network connection, and select properties.

4. Click install, choose "protocol", and click "add..."

5. Click "Have Disk...", enter "\windows\inf", click OK

6. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click OK

7. When the process in complete, reboot
