Ethernet networking not working

anybody43 · External Since: Mar 25, 2006 Posts: 3

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/archive/WinME/maintain/netcomp.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.
