In a customer PC (Windows XP SP3), suddenly the network went down: the network adapter appears with an error mark. I replaced the network card, but the new one does the same thing.
When I enter IPCONFIG, XP shows this error (in standard and safe mode):
Internal error occurred
Request not supported
Unable to query host name
If I start the system with a boot cd the PC runs fine, so the problem seems to be in the XP installation.
I tried:
- uninstalling and reinstalling the network card in the Device Manager
- disabling and reenabling the card
- netsh int ip reset
- netsh winsock reset catalog
- and a couple of "reset" programs (WinsockxpFix.exe, etc)
with no luck.
Is there any way to fix it without reinstalling XP?
TIA, Pablo
