Here's the link to help you with reinstalling tcp/ip:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299357 - How to Reset TCP/IP in
Windows XP

BUT before you do that, repost with more information about your network
setup. For instance, if you are using a router/wap, have you
power-cycled it and the cable/dsl modem? Have you checked the cables?
The problem might not lie with Windows, but since you haven't given any
details about your network, I can't guess at a solution for you.
