Tried the original solution and it did allow me to uninstall TCP/IP - Pretty cool.

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

netsh winsock reset

But overall this didn't fix the problem.

I knew that the problem was related to one of the Security Updates for Windows XP.

I identified Security Update for Windows XP (KB917953) as the culprit.

Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the C:Windows "$NtUninstallKB917953$" folder and use the uninstall utility in the folder.

Note: I noticed two other folders related:

"$NtUninstallKB917953$(2)" and

"$NtUninstallKB917953_0$"

I did not have to do anything using those in order to fix the problem.

Stuart - THANKS A MILLION

I tried a ton of sites and tips to no avail.

This stopped DHCP Service was an awesome symptom description!

Some spyware/virus replaced the tcpip.sys file in the

system32\drivers and the system32\dllcache folder.

Thanks to you and the link that you provided, everything is back to normal!!!

Did all the steps mentioned and it didnt work, but then checked the services, the DHCP client service wouldnt start due to dependincies.

windowsxp.mvps.org/dhcp.htm

found that the TCPIP.sys was missing from the system32 folder.

all working now.

Fabulous! I had my doubts, but it worked. Thank you so much, I know you just saved me a ton of time! FYI, I tried the comments from 'ubiquity', 'Jerry' and 'Justin' first because they looked easier....nothing. But the original post worked like a charm.

I also had encountered this problem on my mom's laptop. I think it was due to a virus corrupted some network files. I'm not sure but I did a restore and it's back up. Thanks

When I tried reinstalling the tcp/ip on the system, I get the following error: "Could not add the requested component. the error is: an extended error has occurred." Any clue how to get around this?

BTW the ticking and unticking of TCP/IP internet protocol did not work for me.

Reinstalling TCP/IP as per the directions did indeed revive my ability to connect to the net.

I usually have a backup copy of my C: disk so that in cases of disastrous failures I can reinstall. In this case the older version worked until some updates were installed and the problem returned. On that copy reverting to a restore point a day earlier solved the problem.

I then reinstalled the originally failed copy of C: - only to find there were no restore points on it - so I reinstalled TCP/IP and that solved the problem on that copy.

It really appears that MS update was the culprit in both cases.

ARRRGGGGG!

I was having the 169.254.x.x/255.255.0.0/not able to renew, etc, etc issue. The tricks listed here didn't work at all. I'm sure the inf files were bad. What worked was 1) copying onto disk the inf folder from the desktop pc that is able to connect to the net with no problem 2) deleting the Winsock and Winsock2 from the registry 3) deleting the inf folder from the non-internet laptop 4) copying the inf folder from disk to the laptop 5) went into the connection I wanted to fix 6) clicked on Properties and then Install 7) clicked on Protocol, then Have Disk, then typed c:\Windows\inf 8) restarted the computer. Somewhere along the line, doing that disabled the IPv6 Windows Firewall Driver...even though I had the Windows Firewall set to off. I used ipconfig /all just to verify and lo and behold...success!!! Finally!! I had read on another site about someone who just replaced a couple files and registry keys, but I figured replacing the whole folder couldn't hurt since they were both XP. What doesn't matter with this fix is whether one is XP Pro and one is XP Home...at least that I can tell. In case I'm wrong, I took the inf folder from Home pc to Pro laptop.

The tip from ubiquity worked for me:

"go into the Properties for the Local Area Connection and untick TCP/IP…click OK and then go back in and tick TCP/IP again. "

You must reboot for the changes to take full effect.

The problem occurred after installing drivers for a $20 USB camera purchased at a local drug store. Be careful what you install on your machine!

Any chance you can share the registry hack? I'm having the exact same problem. Thanks!

If you are still having the Saleslogix problem send me an email. It is not a regular account of mine. Another guy in the office "owns" the account. I can dig up the patch if you have not found it from your var. jim at haasconsulting dot net
