I got 2 cases, where the computer cannot connect anywhere or browse
anywhere, even with a cat-5e patch chord placed in the ethernet
adaptor, the local area connection enabled and on DHCP, with a DHCP
daemon present on the NAT router, where I did NETSH RESET WINSOCK
CATALOG and it failed with the message:

" NETSH COULD NOT LOCATE THE HOST FILE
THE RESET OF THE CATALOG HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY"

(quote from memory, as shown by XP).

What is the reason for this ?

There are 2 computers on the LAN, and all work fine,
all respond to the command fine as well, and all 3 computers have SP2
for XP.

Please help!
