Reset the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299357

"In the days before Windows XP, a corrupted IP
installation could often be fixed simply by removing
and reinstalling TCP/IP. In most cases, the IP-related
files remained intact, but some related Registry keys
would be corrupted beyond repair.

You can't uninstall TCP/IP in Windows XP, because there
is no Uninstall button for this protocol. According to
Microsoft, that is because TCP/IP is an integral part
of the operating system, and removing it would cause
major problems. You can, however, use the Windows XP
command line utility NetShell to reset all IP-related
Registry settings to their default values. The result
is a brand-new TCP/IP configuration.

The Netsh.exe program is located in the C:\Windows\
System32 directory. To use the program, enter the
command "netsh int ip reset filename." You must specify
a filename, such as Ipstuff.txt. After Netsh .exe runs,
the file will contain a detailed log of the Registry
keys that were modified."
