Un install / Reset TCPIP stack in Windows Server, 8, 7, Vista, XP
by Graham Regan
In earlier versions of Windows (2000 and before) it was possible to remove and re install TCP/IP in Windows if there was a corruption / issue. this was done from add remove programs.
From Windows XP onwards, TCP/IP became a core component of Windows and cannot be removed. Instead, net shell is used to reset the stack.
The command to do this is (from the command prompt)
netsh int reset
e.g. netsh int reset c:\resetlog.txt
A reboot is then needed to complete the process.
the log file path is for logging the reset process and can be used to troubleshoot / confirm that the reset has been performed correctly.
This command resets two registry keys, which has the same effect of removing and re installing the TCP/IP stack.
The registry key effected are:
system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip\parameters and system\currentcontrolset\services\dhcp\parameters .
