I somehow have the NetWare login screen going when I start Windows. How can I set it back to the simple 2-member login I had before? I assume it was something in Networking because it's the only thing I've been playing with.
XP Pro. I'm having trouble with my ethernet adaptor losing it's settings, so I've been messing with it. Here's what I've done so far :
ran the Networking Wizard (this is most likely what caused ALL my problems, but I can't "un-run" it)
I've reinstalled my network adapter a couple of times to no avail (using the on-die NF4)
What gets me back on the net is to open a command prompt and type :
netsh int ip reset temp.txt
That command was given to me by a tech at school to try. It worked, but I can't keep bugging them without them getting paid, and I don't think my dept. will go for it Hell, they barely pay ME.
I'm pretty sure it's something I've done, and I'd just like to reset it to default- the screen AND my TCP/IP as the fix only lasts until I reboot.
Bump. I've fixed the login-screen problem. Just a simple setting. Now, I just need some help with the NF4 network adapter. It works fantastic until I reboot for any reason. Then, XPPro will assign an "automatic private ip address" even though my router and computer are set for automatic DHCP. If I type that netsh int ip reset temp.txt lime at the command prompt, it will then get an ip address and work beautifully. Any ideas as to what's going on with that?
I wish I knew. The only way I can find the damned thing is through that command given to me by the tech. If I could navigate to it, I'd list it. How do I find it?
OK, I found it. This is AFTER running the command, and everything is working. If needed, I'll reboot and get the file before and we can compare:
deleted SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters\EnableLmhosts
reset SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{71B52F8F-7FB4-4F9F-A648-B997819284FC}\AddressType
old REG_DWORD = 1
reset SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\{71B52F8F-7FB4-4F9F-A648-B997819284FC}\DefaultGateway
old REG_MULTI_SZ =
<empty>
Sorry I've been away for a while. Gald you fixed, there are two programs for windows users that should do this if you aren't Xp sp2
lspfix
winsockfix I haven't had a chance to try winsockfix but I hope it works, if not here is how to get windows to rebuild it. (hey this is how I do it there may be a better way)
Remove all protocols then remove the adapter. fireup regedit, you can do a full registry backup or for every key you delet back it up first. Search for "winsock" delet all winsock and winsock2 entries. You may restart if you like. Reinstall the network coard and all desired protocols and services.
What this does is when windows goes to reinstall the network and TCP/IP by default it will recgonize that some or all of the winsock entries are missing and it will attempt to recreate them, thus resetting the stack.
