The only reference I can find on this error message is for WinNT ("click here" and "click here"). You might want to set a "Restore Point" or "Export" your current registry for a backup and see if there's a similar path you can edit in WinXP.
The only other thing I can think of... Microsoft released a critical update last week and if your system was updated with it, see "this post".
Other than the above, maybe… uninstalling/reinstalling the "TCP/IP protocol"... or the modem drivers and removing the modem entry in Device Manager?
Aloha,

Than you so much for your help.. I thought no one would post anything here anymore and I did really give up!
However I couldn’t understand exactly, what are the steps to reset the TCP/IP protocol from the article. It is kinda difficult for somebody who is not a computer expert.
Is there any “Step for Step” instructions how to start the netshell utility and what exactly the command I must run? I didn’t really understand all the stuff in the article!
Do I start this utility thru the RUN command in the start menu?
I tried to type the following line
netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
but simply nothing happened!
What did I do wrong?

Since I only use WinXP when I'm helping/fixing friends/relatives computers... the fact that WinXP's TCP/IP Protocol cannot be uninstalled, slipped my mind.
You type cmd in the "Run" box to open the MS-DOS window. Then you type the reset command at the "command prompt".
I usually have my friends/relatives use the "WinsockXPfix Utility" ("click here") for this... since it's easier and faster (less than 1 min.) for them, also.
The WinsockXPfix Utility will:
1.) Detect your current Operating System
2.) Release the IP address, taking you "Offline"
3.) Reset the TCP stack using Netsh.exe (Windows XP only)
4.) Delete the current Registry TCP and Winsock Values
5.) Import new "Working" Registry Values
6.) Backup any Current "Hosts" file
7.) Replace the "Hosts" file with a default one
8.) Reboot the Computer
If that doesn't work... then you could also try the "LSP Fix" ("click here").
Aloha,
Rod

It may appear as if the netsh int ip reset command doesn't do anything but in fact there is a log being created when the process is complete (re the example of the command given by Microsoft), thereafter the log is checked for any problem that may have occurred during reset.

First, in XP registry, all the entries from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces
must also exist in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters\Interfaces.
The string "Tcpip" must be placed in front "_" in the name of the new key of ...\NetBT\ registry location. As it is already exists under ...\Tcpip\ registry location, the name of the key can be copied completely.
Then, for each key under ...\NetBT\Parameters\Interfaces\, at least two subkey must exist: NameServerList, REG_MULTI_SZ, may be no value; and, NetbiosOptions, DWord, value=0.
That's it. Works like a charm.
Thanks so much to the author.
