Re: Can't correct Network problem

[Ken Wickes [MSFT]]

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.

You are correct when you say it's not possible to un-install TCP/IP on XP.
Here's another couple of articles you might like to try:

Have you perchance un-installed macafee AV recently?

Do you get access to internet from both computers through the router?
If not - what about your ip configuration? Can you ping the router?
Need more information!
