How to reset the TCP/IP protocol in the XP system

In the list of network components in Windows XP, the "Uninstall" button of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is grayed out. This is because the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack is a core component of Microsoft XP/2003 (the TCP/IP protocol is the default protocol for Windows XP) and cannot be removed. So Windows XP does not allow you to uninstall the TCP/IP protocol. What should I do if I need to reinstall the TCP/IP protocol in special cases?
Workaround

In this case, if you need to reinstall TCP/IP to return the TCP/IP stack to its original state. You can use the NetShell utility to reset the TCP/IP stack to the state it was in when the operating system was first installed. The specific operation is as follows:

1. Click Start--> Run, enter "CMD" and click "OK";

2. Enter the command in command line mode

netsh int ip reset C:\ esetlog.txt

(In which, Resetlog.txt records the log file of the command result, must be specified, the Resetlog.txt log file and the full path are specified here.)

The results can be viewed in C:\ esetlog.txt (consultation can be provided according to the actual operation of the user)

The result of running this command has the same effect as deleting and reinstalling the TCP/IP protocol.

Note

This operation is risky. Please backup important data before operation and use it according to the operation proficiency
