I recently loaded edonkey on my desktop computer after installing SP2 and could not get a connection. I followed edonkey's suggestion on their website about how to set up the firewall to allow edonkey to work. Everything seemed fine and I turned off the computer that night. The next day I logged onto Windows and was greeted by the error box, "TCP/IP Transport not installed". My cable internet connection showed a low connectivity/no connectivity warning. This warning may have been purely coincidental to the edonkey install.
So I uninstalled edonkey and rebooted. No change. Same error.
I tried to do a restore system but it failed (said it could not restore) on every restore point on the computer (I am still baffled by why I can't restore).
I then uninstalled SP2, thinking it might be the problem but I still had the same error. I was able to restore to what I had just done (i.e. SP2 was restored) and I deleted the firewall exceptions for edonkey
I know the modem is working since I could connect to the internet via my laptop.
I have a dual boot (separate hard drive with Linspire loaded on it) on my desktop. So to test the desktop's onboard NIC, I booted Linspire and was able to connect to the internet with no problem.
To see if the Linspire was causing a conflict (since I had not tested it after installing SP2, but I can't think of why it would make a difference) I disconnected the second hard drive and rebooted to Windows XP. Still the same error.
I uninstalled the NIC and rebooted. Still the same error.
Short of reinstalling the OS, how do I install the TCP/IP Transport?
I have tried the "netsh int reset" and it had no effect.
I checked the TCPIP registry keys against what my laptop had and they were the same
SO WHERE AM I GOING WRONG????
TCP/IP transport not loading
Linear Mode
