No protocol for wireless adapter (also using dial-up)
Unfortunately I can't lay hands on the URL for the process to reset the
TCP/IP stack in WindowsMe, so I'm crossposting this to the .general newsgroup where several of my fellow gurus hang out and often have better memory subsystems than I do. :-) -- Richard G.

It should be bound to a protocol whose dialog box contains text like "Obtain an IP address automatically". So I tried to add a new protocol. Click the Add button, and it asks you to select the component type. I highlight Protocol and click Add, and the system does nothing. In fact, even if I highlight Client or Service, the system still does nothing. You can see the screenshot at http://www.geocities.com/siemelnaran/AddDoesNothing.bmp for a picture of the problem.

Mow,
The VarLDID "patch" is normally for where the user is seeing setupx errors when attempting to access Add/Remove Programs | Windows Setup due to the use of a registry cleaner after deleting certain empty folders in the Program Files folder placed there during the install. An empty Windows Setup window is often indicative of more that just problems with the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Set up\VarLDID key (the "patch" you refer to is the fully populated key) but also possibly damaged or missing entries in the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Set up\OptionalComponents key. I'll be happy to supply the OP with a reg file including both keys if they contact me. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP MowGreen [MVP] wrote: Download VarLDID.zip that is attached to Koldbear's post Sep 16 2001, 1:24 pm http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...909828e584ab1d or Extract it to the Desktop, right click it and select Merge. |

I'll be happy to supply the OP with a reg file including both keys if they contact me. Thanks. In both of the registry locations mentioned above there are entries, though it seems something may be corrupted. Also, I believe that somewhere in the registry is the "TCP/IP Protocol" that appears in the My Network Places / Properties listbox (it may say something like "TCP/IP - Dial-Up Adapter"). If you can export this registry key that would likely help too, and might be the most useful. That way I could import the registry file and would create a "TCP/IP" entry for me, as adding it through My Network Places / Properties - Add - Protocol - Add is not working (ie. the problem of the original post of this thread). It's going to be a little hassle because my computer has no internet connectivity, so I think I'll have to copy whatever files to a 1.44MB floppy disk on another computer, then put that disk into my computer so that I can get the files. Alternatively, if the file is very short then I could just type it out again on my computer, like copying it manually. Thanks. |

Anyway, I found out about the following command: scanreg /restore, which restores the registry to a previous state. Using this I got back my previous settings. Now when I bind "D-Link AirPlus DWL-G520 Wireless PCI Adapter (rev.B)" to the TCP/IP, then internet explorer, file explorer, and Outlook Express cease to work. I'll start a new thread about this problem. |
