hi,

i seem to be having this ip problem. i can't even do a
ipconfig. error message is "an internal error occurred:
the request is not supported. Please contact Microsoft
Product Services for further help. Additional information:
Unable to query host name"

i can get wireless associated (meaning the drivers for the
wireless are OK but at the IP level it fails to get any IP
(even for fix ip).

i even tried to run the netsh int reset function but
problem remains. support site suggest to do a re-bind but
i couldnt find this feature. any suggestions?

also, did a reinstall of the wireless and same result (as
in wireless association works but IP fails to work).

xp is SP1 patched already.

cheers...
tom
 
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
