reboot. 6. Make a new connectiod. As far as Win 2k and XP goes there is no way to reinstall. According to some Microsoft article I read you just delete all connectoids and when you create a new one it will rebind to TCP/IP and that's all you need. Of course in XP there's always netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.t but I've never seen it work in action. Thanks to Maxo
