drivers I updated. Very much appreciated.

Hi,
I'm fixing a friends computer and I've come across a very strange
networking problem that I haven't experienced before. I've only managed to
find on emention of it online, but there was no solution.

Here is the problem, I would VERY much be appreciative if someone could
supply a solution as I've tried just about everything. I'm surprised there is
not a KnowledgeBase article on this.

I'm trying to add the computer to a network. I've added many before and have
always been able to resolve problems. But this one is plain strange. The
computer will not network by TCP/IP. I've managed to get it working by
installing IPX protocol, but this doesn't help when it comes to sharing the
internet connection. After trying several things, I noticed somehting very
strange with the PING from command prompt. Strange characters and symbols are
coming up when I ping anything, such as:-

ping 192.168.1.1

Pinging (Spade symbol) with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 0ù?:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms

The computer only had service pack one. So I created a CD to upgrade it to
SP2 which went on fine. When i tried ping again there were different weird
characters and as soon as i hit return the PC speaker beeps. NOTE PC speaker,
not the sound card:-

I've tried resetting tcpip following the knowledge base article. But that
made no difference. I even tried copying over ping.exe and the tcpip system
files from system32 on a working macine to this one, but that made no
difference as well. I'm totally stumped. I don't want to do a clean install
as I've spend so much time on this, and the manufacturor did not provide an
xp cd. I'm a computer programmer, so don't be afraid to post any advanced
techniques.

The post I found on this from another forum is at:-

Please help.

This is an example of LSP / Winsock corruption.

Get rid of IPX/SPX first please. You'll have more possible problems, if you
don't.
