It seems most of the posts on this subject relate back to around 2008/9 ... any more recent info anyone?
I have a current issue where several times I've restarted my XP machine and discovered I had no IP stack.
I can fix it by running:
- netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
- netsh winsock reset catalog
This logs the following errors:
reset Linkage\UpperBind for PCI\VEN_1969&DEV_1026&SUBSYS_82261043&REV_B0\4&20515DB1&0&00E5. bad value was: REG_MULTI_SZ = SymIM
reset Linkage\UpperBind for ROOT\MS_NDISWANIP\0000. bad value was: REG_MULTI_SZ = SymIM
But today while in Device Manager (for another reason) I noticed two disabled entries in Network Adaptors ...
Atheros .... Ethrnet Controller - Symantec Network Security Miniport
WAN Miniport (IP) - Symantec Network Security Miniport
Details for both show:
\ROOT\SYMC_SYMIMMP\0001
Both have the warning:
Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
Anyone have any recent comments on the best (easiest) way to re-enable these as I'm guessing they are part of the NIS network protection which probably isn't doing its full job without them.
System Details:
Win XP SP3 fully patched
NIS 20.4.0.40
