Reinstalling TCP stack in Windows XP

[Bill Burnett]

Does anyone know what the hell the trick is to
reinstalling TCP/IP stack in Windows XP Pro? For whatever
reason the "uninstall" option in the LAN connection
properties is greyed out. I need to reinstall TCP because
the stack is corrupted and DHCP/DNS are not working
properly. Thanks in advance!

How to fix corrupted IP Configuration
To fix a corrupted IP Configuration,
1) for Win9x, NT, ME and W2K, you may want to remove and re-install TCP/IP.
2) If it is win9x, you may try to run c:\windows\ws2bakup\ws2bakup.bat to
restore the original settings.
3) If you get "DHCP server unreachable" while using ipconfig /renew, you may
want to update the network card drive or go to NIC configuration to change
the media type matching the speed.
4) For XP, you can't uninstall TCP/IP (Uninstall is grayed out). You will
use the Windows XP command line utility netsh.exe to reset all IP-related
Registry settings to their default values. To do that, enter the command:
netsh int ip reset filename, for example, netsh int ip reset ipreset.t.xt
