Windows XP: clearing arp cache failure
clearing arp cache failure
by Merl Priester - 12/18/04 4:14 PMWin XP Home SP2
2600+ AthlonXP
512 megs ram
nforce2 mainboard (not using onboard nic)
comcast cable internet - connected direct (no router)
Recently this problem started.
After booting up, cannot access internet.
I get an IP address, dns server numbers etc.)
but IE and firefox cannot reach websites.
If I go to device manager and uninstall the NIC driver (Dlink 530TX+) and then do a check for hardware changes, the system installs the driver and the internet works.
If I go to network connections and do a repair on the
network connection I get an error everytime.
" Windows Could not finish repairing the problem because the following operation could not be completed:
Clearing the ARP cache
for assistance, contact the person who manages your network "
Have tried winsockfix several times and no success.
Have used the standard cleanup suite, adaware - spybot - hijackthis - cwshredder
and found nothing but dcom and tracking cookies.
Antivirus scan "housecall" negative as well.
Ideas to try?
Thanks
See if this

helps Merl, It shows you how to clear that manually (sort of anyway). Worth a shot,

Did that

I did that and it cleared with no errors.
Then I go directly to network connections and
have windows do it, I get the same error.
Think a repair install might fix this or is that just a waste of time?
Sorry Merl but

I don't have an answer for that. Hopefully one of the others can help.
Same problem...help!!
by murkin - 12/22/04 8:17 PM In reply to: clearing arp cache failure by Merl PriesterI can't figure out what is going on! I uninstalled the last couple windows xp patches which were installed 12/16/04. The last time I remember having access to the internet, I was uninstalling google desktop search. Could this be the reason? I am able to set the lan connection to manual and browse my local network, but no internet access. PC refuses to automatically update the ip address for my desktop.
Problem Fixed - Winsock Corruption
by murkin - 12/22/04 8:36 PM In reply to: Same problem...help!! by murkinWell, a couple minutes after posting my problem, I found my answer on another site.
I followed the instructions on the MS website.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259
Just before the last restart, I typed "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" in the command prompt. This supposedly rebuilds the TCP/IP stack. Everything is back to normal.
I blame google for this. In the registry key following the winsock entry, there is a google desktop search "backup winsock" entry. Damn beta software!

Winsock Corruption
by bigbonna - 12/29/04 12:38 AM In reply to: Problem Fixed - Winsock Corruption by murkinHi,
your solution didn't quite do it for me and my problem,
can you assist further ? ( XP )
The problem, however, is identical to the one you were faced with . . .
Thanks
bigbonna
I have the same problem kinda message…
by Cetin Denislam - 12/29/04 5:09 AM In reply to: Winsock Corruption by bigbonnaGenerally speaking, random posters don't come back to assist. Your problem might seem the same as this subthread's. However, it's better to open a new thread and describe in more detail what is your PC's configuration and give other pertinent details.
Now, instead of using the netsh , try the WinsockFix utility.
Good Luck,
Cetin

same problem as the others
by scrile - 1/3/05 8:10 PM In reply to: clearing arp cache failure by Merl PriesterI have the same problem. Not able to access any web pages after a re-boot unless i do the repair function first. After I receive the same message as mentioned above, I can then access a web page. Have ran 3 different virus scanners, adaware, spybot, cw shredder, tweaknow regcleaner....all with no success. I have also tried doing the fix that was used above from Microsoft, with no success.
Any other ideas???
