If your TCP/IP installation has become corrupt, and every internet related app has gone "south", then a complete reinstallation of windows is called for.

However, it may be possible to just delete and re-install TCP/IP but I have never heard of anyone just reinstalling TCP/IP in a modern windows setup.

I must have missed this post when it was originally made...unless the TCP/IP configuration in the OS has been deleted, the steps I outlined do work as I have done it before when my LAN card disappeared for some odd reason from the OS...and I'm pretty sure one can import the files for networking back into the OS from the install disc...but as you noted (and I agree because of the time one many times spends 'fixing' a problem) a reformat and a clean install is many times the 'best' fix!
