The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Failed to Query TCP/IP Settings of the Connection - tried every step I could find

Asked by gallagherdesign in Networking Protocols, Windows XP Operating System, TCP/IP

Tags: , ,

Setup:
Windows 2003 SBS network with 3 Win XP clients. Symantec AV v10 deployed to all clients. (the other two clients are perfectly fine btw). Server acting as router via two NICs, DSL modem going in/out of NIC 1 and NIC 2 going in/out to a Netgear gigabit switch.
One of the clients fails to connect to the network. This computer has two NICs also, one 10/100 and one PCI gigabit.

What Ive done:

Switched out patch cable trying both NICs and same problem.
No IP address/DNS/gateway etc. (not even 0.0.0.0). Tried to repair the connection and getting Failed to Query TCP/IP Settings of the Connection.
Tried to manually renew via ipconfig and get this:
Windows IP Configuration
An Internal error occured: The request is not supported.
Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help.
Additional information: Unable to query host name.

Thinking it may be Symantec, I uninstalled the client. No change. Researched and researched& performed the Winsockfix.exe and nothing changed. Booted into safe mode, deleted the Winsock and Winsock2 registry keys, rebooted and no change.

I tried reinstalling the TCP/IP protocol via C:\windows\inf and again, no change. I modified the nettcpip.inf file to allow to actually uninstall and did so. Reinstalled TCP/IP and no change.

Anybody have any other ideas other than reinstalling the OS?

Sorry, hope this makes sense as I'm writing this WAY too quickly. Thanks!Start Free Trial
