Default Having issues with Winipcfg

I am using a Compaq Armada 1700 laptop which runs Windows 98 Second Edition.
The last time I used this computer to connect to the Internet was some 2-3
months ago. Just last night I attempted to get on the Internet with it, but
I was unable too. My network PCMCIA card works, but cant connect. I tried
renewing and releasing all with winipcfg but the program fails to respond
after this.

I did a search on the web and some website said to add/remove dial up
networking, and re-install. I did this, but it did not fix my problem.

So I then called my ISP's tech support, and he reccommended that I remove my
Network Card drivers, and re-install from the floppy, and I did this, but my
problem remains.

So therefore I think I have a SERIOUS problem.

Does anyone have any solutions?


Thanks,


John


This procedure can fix strange problems with Windows 98 TCP/IP. Is
this what you tried?

1. Un-install Internet Connection Sharing (if installed).
2. Un-install Dial-Up Networking. Don't reboot.
3. Delete registry key HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2
4. Re-install Dial-Up Networking. Reboot.
5. Re-install Internet Connection Sharing (if desired).
