Clearing NetBT in XP to Repair Network Connection
Today after starting XP with the “Last Known Good Configuration” option I lost the network connectivity on my Desktop. Although Internet was working fine but “Microsoft Windows Network” would not list my network computers and when I tried the Network Connection repair option, the error message I kept getting was “Windows could not finish repairing the problem because following action cannot be completed: Clearing NetBT”.
So the logical approach was to first find a method to clear NetBT and after following these steps below, I was able to clear NetBT and get my network connectivity back in XP.
TCP/IP stack repair method for use with Windows XP:
- Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt.
- Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog
- Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset [log_file_name]
Note: the log_file_name needs to be specified, e.g. netsh int ip reset reset.log

Great tutorial. Helped a lot. This is really unrelated, but I was kinda hoping to get the HTML code for the “Sharing is caring” part. Or could you tell me how you made it like that? Ehehe. Thank you! :)

Rubayat,
I don’t know enough to choose a log_file_name, so I tried your example and got “the following command was not found” – can you suggest what I try instead, or does it mean the fix won’t work for me?
Thanks!
