Reset TCP/IP in Windows 2003

In the Connection Properties dialog box of Windows Server 2003 (referred to as Windows 2003), if you click the <;Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) option, the "Uninstall" button is grayed out and is not available. This is because the TCP/IP protocol is a core component of Windows Server 2003 and cannot be removed.

What if we need to reset TCP/IP to its original state? At this point, we can use the <quo;netsh” command line tool to solve this problem. In the "Run" dialog box, enter "ldld; cmd", open the "Command Prompt" window, and then enter the command line "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" or "ldsh;tsh ip reset c:\ esetlog .txt” and press the Enter key. The "reset" command can override the TCP/IP-related registry key <;System\\CurrentCon trolSet\\Services\\Tcpip\\Parameters\\” and “System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\DHCP\\Parame ters\\” The result of running the above command is the same as deleting and reinstalling TCP/IP.

In addition, the difference between the two command lines is only that “resetlog.txt” the storage location of the log files is different. The former creates the log file in the current folder, while the latter specifies the specific save path.
