Because the integration with the network application is further enhanced, in Windows2003, if you click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) entry in the local Area Connection attribute in the "This connection uses the following items" list, you will find that the Uninstall button "not available" is a frequent occurrence, The protocol cannot be deleted or reset.
How do you reinstall the TCP/IP protocol at this time so that the TCP/IP stack is restored to its original state?
You can actually reset the TCP/IP stack by using the Netshell (command abbreviation for netsh) command to revert to its state when the system was first installed. You can use the RESET subcommand of this utility to override the following TCP/IP-related registry entries:
Systemcurrentcontrolsetservicestcpipparameters
Systemcurrentcontrolsetservicesdhcpparameters
This command has the same effect as removing and reinstalling the TCP/IP protocol, with the command syntax: "netsh int ip reset[log_file_name]". The following two examples show how to use the Netsh command to reset the TCP/IP protocol stack.
Example 1
Click Start, enter CMD in run, enter the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
Example 2
Click Start to enter CMD in run, type the following command at the command prompt, and then press ENTER:
netsh int ip reset c:esetlog.txt
To reset the TCP/IP stack by using the Netsh command, you must specify the name of the log file that records the results of the command. In the first example, the log file is created in the current folder, and in the second example, the full path to the Resetlog.txt log file is specified.
If you want to see Help on a command, enter it after a space, and then display additional help for the commands that are available in the Netsh context. For example, to view the Netsh command, type the following command after the command:
Type netsh?, and then press ENTER.
Type netsh int?, and then press ENTER.
Type netsh int ip?, and then press ENTER.
Type the netsh int ip reset?, and then enter the key.
