Default Ethernet networking not working

Hello,

Got my new ADLS line and the fine new XP laptop works OK.

The old but still useful desktop machine (ME) will not communicate
usefully over the inteternet

Works:-
Ping to default Gateway
ping to www.google.com - name resolution OK.


Does not work:-
Telnet to default Gateway (works from new PC though)
Internet Explorer to google.


I have run the following
"Click Run, and then enter the command line
hcp://system/netdiag/logs.htm"
as suggested by:-
https://www.microsoft.com/technet/ar....mspx?mfr=true

It says that it can't ping the loopback or the default gateway
and reports the error
"WSASocket() failed 10106"

I have removed and re-installed

IE6SP?
ALL networking components

I do not now though have any lines in the network list
of the form

TCP - Network device.
I have my NIC and a TCP line seperately.

THe TCP - NIC line was there before I removed the
NIC and re-ibnstalled it.

In all cases I made one change at a time and rebooted.

HELP!

Fixed now.

Did the trick.

Basically _really_ remove and re-install TCP/IP.

Remove it with control panel, then delete various registry keys
_then_ reinstall it.

Sorry to have troubled you.

Not a problem. This is a peer help group. Your followup post will be most
helpful to others who have encountered the same problem, and are scanning
this group for help. You are now, officially, a "Helper"!

Norman,

Thank you for your enlightened viewpoint. I have always
(since 1994 ish) regarded usenet as a self help group where
ideas and viewpoints can be 'safely' aired and criticised.
This thereby allowed learning and development.
More recently I have found newsgroups more
argumentative and less about mutual development.

It is most refreshing to see a counter example.

Thanks,

Me.
