"TCP/IP stops working after reboot

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im getting major headaches with this can anyone help !!!

If I uninstall, reboot then reinstall TCP/IP I can ping localhost and other domains and get replies, but as soon as I reboot the computer and ping locahost I get 'request timed'.

I then loose access to my home network So I have to start the whole process again - uninstall, reboot then reinstall

has anyone ever experienced this before is possible somehow that TCP/IP in being corrupted every time I reboot"

Thanks

The most important parts of your question are strangely ommited.

What OS? Version?
Home network? (Router? switch? hub? Wireless LAN?)
Are you requiring DHCP? Assigning IPs to your machine? and others?

Getting a request timed out doesn mean that you are losing your TCP/IP (not most of the time). Since you said your on a network, It very well could be that another machine (PC, print server etc.) has the same IP. So when you do reboot, you win the battle. But eventually another machine wins.

Give some more detail. I have worked with networks for a long time and as hard as it may be to find the answer, it is mostly the easiest conclusion when the problem is fixed.

Thanks for your response SS.

What OS? Windows 2000 Version? Professional
Home network? Hub, assigning IPs to machine. No IP duplication.

Strange thing is that I can still connect to Yahoo and my email smtp server works, however, my internet explorer does not navigate nor my MSN connects. The other computers on the network work perfectly good.

When I try to access my DSL with 10.0.0.1 it cannot see it.

Now, when I unistall TCP/IP - Restart - Install it again, everything comes back to normal untill the next time that I turn it off.

Thanks for any suggestion.

try this first look for software called Newnet or New.Net which causes it so I remove this first from add/remove progs

Will try that and come back if it doesn't work.

Thanks for your information, it was very useful and I can safely reboot my computer now.

Do you have any idea on what could have caused this? I would like to avoid this problem in the future.

Thanks again.
