I have a home network using a linksys router. I have three desktop computers
and a laptop that I occasionally hook up. One of my desktop computers cannot
obtain an IP address. It had been working fine, I installed adawareSE and now
it cant sync up? The NIC card sees the router and I can surf from that
location with my laptop. I have tried uninstalling adawareSE with no luck. I
have tried to uninstall the nic card and even reinstalled the drivers. Can
anyone help?

If AdAware is involved, maybe a case of LSP / Winsock corruption.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=318584
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=811259

If XP SP2, Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh winsock reset catalog" into the
command window.

Give LSP-Fix <http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm>, WinsockFix
<http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257>, or WinsockXPFix
<http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html> a shot.

If no help yet, reset TCP/IP.

Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh int ip reset c:\netsh.txt" into the command
window.
 
The cmd string worked thank you very much...

I would also like to thank you for this fix. WinsockXPFix took care of my
problem.

It's surprising how useful that little program is. Thanks for the feedback.
 
I found this to be helpful, but it didn't fix my problem. I am running a
two-PC network with Linksys. Suddenly, after McAfee detencted an infested
e-mail and quarantinned/removed it, I could no longer access the Internet. I
am running XP Home on an HP Pavillion. The error is "Network Cable
Unplugged." I have:

- Installed a new network card - same error as with the PCI 10/100
- Run both downloaded utilities (Winsock Fix and WinsockXPFix)
I have swapped cables around - end-to-end and cable swap - all work just
fine for client computer.
- I have reset the winsock catalog
- I have tried using both static and dynamic IP addresses.

I believe that there may be a problem with Windows Firewall. I cannot
access Windows Firewall because the ICS is not running and apparently can't
be found.

- I cannot run repair on this connection.
- ipconfig returns an internal error
- netsh int ip reset c:\netsh.txt is not found

Apparently McAfee (or the virus it trapped) wiped out something in the stack
that has really shut this down and invalidated most tools & utilities.

I'd appreciate any clues to help repair this situation.
Thanks - Bob

there was a recent oops. (I am not a fan of McAfee and personally
use NOD32)

Thanks for your help - unfortunately, I am yet to resolve this. I am unable
to run ipconfig: Internal error - Request is not supported - unable to query
host name.

Attempts to run ICS Service return error: Windows unable to run
 
Thanks, Barb - but had already removed McAfee. I'm not much of a fan either,
but it's furnished "free" with Comcast.
