Windows net utils broken - how to fix?

[kleptophobiac]

Ping returns funky symbols (including degrees sign and Y's with dots)... the dhcp client completely doesn't work, dns lookups gives weird results, and everything is broken. No this isn't my computer, so I can't just wantonly reformat it (boy do I want to).

Is there some way to reinstall the windows networking utilities/daemons without nuking the box?

Thanks, that did the trick.
