Guest richard Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Got a problem with the Bursars machine which has lost its TCP/IP Protocol Driver and its IP Network Address Translator. Anyone know an easy way to reinstall these with out rebuilding the machine?
mattx Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Drop to a command line - [ I take it you are using XP ] type: netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt Check out: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/299357 For a detailed breakdown.
Guest richard Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 I have already tried that mattx. When I go into Devic Manager and select hidden devices and then look under Non-Plug and Play Drivers the IP Network Address Translator and TCP/IP Protocol Driver are missing. I know this as I have checked on several other machines andthey are there.
Guest richard Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 The school doesn't have an an xp disc as the machines were built by a small local firm who didn't supply any
mattx Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Just out of interest - logon to a PC with the problem and then drop to a command line and type in: ipconfig /all Does anything come up ?

mattx Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Have your tried removing the NICs drivers [ or removing it from device manager ] - re-booting and re-installing them or a different set of drivers for the NIC ? Did this start all of a sudden ? If so, you could try a restore. What happens if you try and boot to a network boot disk / cd ?
PiqueABoo Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 the IP Network Address Translator and TCP/IP Protocol Driver are missing And were the corresponding drivers in system32/drivers? tcpip.sys and whateveritis.. ?
Guest richard Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 the IP Network Address Translator and TCP/IP Protocol Driver are missing And were the corresponding drivers in system32/drivers? tcpip.sys and whateveritis.. ? Thats right and the files were still in the system32/drivers. Going to have another look this morning when I'm back in there and see what I can come up with. But I have a feeling that I'll be rebuilding the thing.
SimpleSi Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Just before you reimage - give this a go http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html you'll have nothing to lose and its helped me in the past when sorting out spyware removal aftereffects regards Simon

I was just getting ready to rebuild the machine when I noticed that whoever had built it had left the system restore on so I rolled it back to the day before it went down and all is now well I hope. Going to run some tests on it to make sure. Thanks to all the guys who offered advice.
mattx Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Thats good - now make another restore point and make a note of it somewhere just in case it happens again !!
