repair failed to start (SOLVED)

<< < (3/4) > >>

I ran technician's toolkit and the only IP to respond was the server's own.

So, I did like you mentioned in your post: uninstalled the NIC (can't physically remove it, it's integral to the MB), ran netsh int ip reset and netsh winsock reset again, rebooted.

It got a DHCP address!! But that just lasted long enough to get the address.

As soon as I noticed the correct address, I tried pinging the router and got the destination unreachable message again. Tried releasing and renewing the IP address but it failed.

(FYI since this is a server and a DC, the IP is normally static. It just reverted to DHCP when I uninstalled everything.)

Thanks for your continued help.

I am heading out for the weekend, taking my 10 year old to the observatory, so I wont respond till monday.

But before I go I wanted to reply :-)

Check the event viewer and see if anything is logged about the network, any errors or anything.

Check the services and make sure the server and workstation services are running. Also make sure the firewall is off, on a server it is normally off, if you like it on lets turn it off for testing.

I have been on servers where the server firewall would stop a lot of things even when it was set to allow them through.

I know there are some other services that need to be running for the network to work like normal, lanman and others, I just cant think of all of them at this moment.

Also, just to cover all the bases, if you have another network card you can use just as a test, install one and see how it does. That would at least confirm if the onboard nic and the drivers are good or not. If it happens to a totally different nic and drivers then we can mark that off the list as a possible cause :-)

Basically at this point it is a process of elimination  :wink:

I installed a USB wireless card and that acted the same way. I'll check more and report back.

Have a great weekend! Spend as much time with your kids as you can! I remember those days and wish I had been more available.

Shane:
How has the testing gone so far?

I'm happy to report I fixed the network problem.

As you probably know, there is a hack that will allow you to uninstall the TCP/IP protocol. And, by uninstalling and reinstalling TCP/IP, all the associated registry keys are rebuilt. So, I did that and now my network seems to be working okay.

Thanks for all your help and your great products!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend with your son!
