Rebuilding a TCP/IP stack
- Thread starter Tarkus2
- Start date
[li] Adapters fail to obtain a DHCP derived address and fall through to APIPA IP addresses;[/li]
[li] "Ipconfig" Command Reports IP Address 0.0.0.0[/li]
[li] Adapter error messages such as 'An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket";[/li]
[li] DNS resolution is compromised or non-existent;[/li]
[li] You cannot do many or any of the Ipconfig.exe "repair" steps without an error message:
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) lease is renewed: ipconfig /renew
• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache is flushed: arp -d *
• Reload of the NetBIOS name cache: nbtstat -R
• NetBIOS name update is sent: nbtstat -RR
• Domain Name System (DNS) cache is flushed: ipconfig /flushdns
• DNS name registration: ipconfig /registerdns
• IEEE 802.1X Authentication Restart
• Error 678 or Error 769 appears in your Event logs;[/li]
Other common Error Messages as signs of TCP/IP Stack problems:
When you try to release and renew the IP address by using the Ipconfig program (Ipconfig.exe), you may receive one of the following error messages.
Message 1
An error occurred while renewing interface 'Internet': An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.
Message 2
An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection: the requested service provider could not be loaded or initialized.
When you start Internet Explorer, you may receive the following error message:
The page cannot be displayed
When you use your computer, you may receive the following error message:
Initialization function INITHELPERDLL in IPMONTR.DLL failed to start with error code 10107
Additionally, you may have no IP address or no Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address, and you may be receiving IP packets but not sending them.
When you use the ipconfig /renew command, you may receive the following error messages.
Message 1
An error occurred while renewing interface local area connection: an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. Unable to contact driver Error code 2.
Message 2
The operation failed since no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation.
Message 3
The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced.
In Device Manager, when you click Show Hidden Devices, the TCP/IP Protocol Driver is listed as disabled under Non-Plug and Play drivers, and you receive error code 24.
When you create a dial-up connection, you may receive the following error message:
Error 720: No PPP Control Protocols Configured
Check the Netsh.exe created log file after a nominal repair of the TCP/IP stack:
netsh int ip reset netsh_log.txt
The above does not ensure a rebuild of the TCP/IP stack, but it makes a reasonable effort. More importantly, it often points out areas of the stack that required repair.
