Dave,

Yes -- that is the URL I was referring to. My wireless
card (Linksys v4) 'works' OK -- that is to say that the
access point is accessible, and WEP appears to be working.
Dial-up fails with error message 633 (was 720 before some
repair attempts that wiped all hardware enumerations and
started over).

I suspect that the TCPIP stack is corrupted but cannot,
even with Microsoft's 'technical support' find where or
how to restore.

Ping 127.0.0.1 now works but ipconfig still fails. There
are several error messages in the event log (can't send
them here) and many relate to being unable to initialise
ports at boot time.

This is the initial report:
"Problem Description: This problem occurs on a Dell
Insprion 800 laptop computer. The version of Windows XP
was completely update-to-date with all patches. Network
firewall (Zone Alarm Pro) and anti-virus software (Norton)
was always installed and active. During recent business
trip with the laptop computer, many not fatal disk errors
were encountered. At boot time two hours was necessary for
a complete, successful, disk surface scan. Many blocks
were reported as being 'moved' by Windows. Eventually all
networking capability stopped. At present the operating
system executes, except for any type of networking. I
performed several remedial actions based on Microsoft
knowledge base articles, including "netsh int ip reset". I
deinstalled the network adaptors several times.
Error codes returned now are:
Attempt to connect using the dialer "code 720"
Ping 127.0.0.1 message "Unable to contact IP driver, error
code 2."
Ipconfig /all message "An internal error occurred: the
request is not supported"
