I have a computer in our office with Windows XP Home SP2. I have gone
through and removed all of the spyware, viruses, and other malicious
items. I have cleaned the computer using a mixture of Norton
Antivirus 2006, Spybot Search & Destroy 1.4, Ad-Aware SE Personal
Edition, and Windows Defender. I have stunted all running malicious
items and now the computer is functioning quite efficiently once
again. My question is, I am trying to fix the TCP/IP issues on the
computer. The computer is setup DHCP and the Network Connections
specifies that the computer is "Connected." The status shows the IP
Address and all associated addresses are all blank. I have reset the
TCP/IP and Winsocks on this computer using two pieces of software. I
have also used Microsoft's netsh to reset TCP/IP and Winsocks. I
tested the networking outside of the XP Home operating system (on a
bootable operating system) and it works wonderfully. My only question
is, is it possible to remove the registry keys for the TCP/IP and let
the be recreated or what other methods could I try to return the
Networking functionality of this computer. Any suggestions or
comments are very welcome at this point.

This Microsoft Knowledge Base article should help:

What are the two pieces of software that you used? I recommend LSPFix
and Winsock XP Fix.
