I have issues with two computers lately that something is affecting the networking files.
I end up with Invalid IP error 0.0.0.0 for address. WinSockFix is no help.
I can start the services of DHCP or TCPIP. In the Device Mgr/Hidden Items AFD.sys and TCPIP shows started but NETBT.sys is MISSING.
I have tried everything to replace the files in windows/system32/drivers and Netbt still does not show up and i can't start the two services (all others are ok)

Lets see if we can get this fixed, and if possible add the fix my Windows repair tool

Can you post any screen shots of any error messages?

:-( I finally had to format and reinstall XP to get the system back to the customer.
But i did write this down...

When Starting the services of DHCP or TCPIP:
Could not start the "DHCP" Client Service on Local Computer
Error 1075: The depenency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.

And if i ran:
Start
CMD
IPCONFIG /Renew
Error: The RPC Server is Unavailable

I hope this helps

Missing reg keys.
Reinstall was your best option

While I want to add as many repairs as possible to my repair program I have to stay away from it adding reg keys. To many differences in peoples systems. And you go changing reg keys and your asking from trouble

I own and run a computer repair business as well, so since your a fellow tech feel free to hit me up on anything you need. The more ideas I get the more I can add to my program :-D

I wonder if I should create a section where the services reg keys for each version of windows might be helpful?

hmm, not sure what reg keys would be of use at the moment.
I generally dont "add" any, i delete ones from virus/malware.

I use "dial a fix" alot for XP, but they never made one for Vista/7 systems.

It usually cures all my networking and update issues, but what ever affected these two systems
no matter what i did could get any network to log on.

If i come up with something to add i will let ya know.

I've used the "unhide" non system files a few times that you have and it works great.

Thanks for all the hard work.

I made the unhide feature because a few of my customers got a virus that hid every file on the drive. So I made that

There are a few tricks to getting the network to work correctly again, I have had to do them on a few machines. It is basically uninstalling the network card, then going through the reg and removing all traces of it. Then after a reboot Windows should put everything back.

Wish I still had how I did it handy, it was a while ago.
