“USE WINDOWS TO CONFIGURE MY WIRELESS NETWORK SETTINGS”
Let's try a simple stack reset first and see if a corrupted entry may be causing the issue.
TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.
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 reset.log
Reboot the machine.

CONFIGURING NETWORK INTERFACES
Configure the number and type of network interfaces according to the needs of your system.
You can configure network interfaces on the system. The number and type of interfaces vary according to the specific needs of your system.
Attention: This operation can be performed when the system is powered on as well as powered off. Because network configuration changes occur immediately, existing network sessions, such as HMC connections, are stopped. If a firmware update is in progress, do not perform this operation. The new settings must be used to re-establish any network connections. Additional errors might also be logged if the system is powered on.
You can change the network configurations when the system is in any state.
To perform this operation, your authority level must be one of the following:
· Administrator
· Authorized service provider
To configure network interfaces, do the following:
1. On the ASMI Welcome pane, specify your user ID and password, and click Log In.
2. In the navigation area, expand Network Services.
3. Select Network Configuration.
4. In the right pane, locate the interface that you want to change. Select the box corresponding to the Configure this interface? field of the identified interface. If this box is not selected, the corresponding field changes are ignored.
5. Select the Type of IP address from the following options:
Static
The IP address, subnet mask, broadcast address, default gateway and first DNS server address must be entered. The second and third DNS server addresses are optional.
Dynamic
No additional input is required.
6. Click Continue. The next screen allows you to verify the IP settings that have been entered.
Attention: If incorrect network configuration information is entered, you may not be able to use the ASMI after the changes are made. To remedy this situation, you must reset the service processor to the default settings by removing the service processor assembly from the server and moving the reset jumpers. Resetting the service processor also resets all user IDs and passwords to their default values.
Note: Tto reset Network Configuration settings to their default factory settings, click Reset Network Configuration.
7. Click Save settings to make the changes.
HOW TO RESET INTERNET PROTOCOL (TCP/IP) IN WINDOWS XP.
INTRODUCTION
In Windows XP, the TCP/IP stack is considered a core component of the operating system, and you cannot remove TCP/IP. Therefore, when you view the list of components for a network interface, you may notice that the Uninstall button is disabled when Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is selected. In extreme cases, the best solution for this issue may be to reinstall the IP stack. But with the NetShell utility, you can reset the TCP/IP stack to restore it to its state that existed when the operating system was installed. This article describes how to use the NetShell utility for this purpose.
MANUAL METHOD TO RESET TCP/IP
Note This section is intended for advanced computer users. If you are not comfortable with advanced troubleshooting, ask someone for help or contact support. For information about how to contact support, see the Microsoft Help and Support contact information Web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus (http://support.microsoft.com/contactus)
The NetShell utility (netsh) is a command-line scripting interface for configuring and monitoring Windows XP networking. This tool provides an interactive network shell interface to the user.
In Windows XP, a reset command is available in the IP context of the NetShell utility. When you run the reset command, it rewrites pertinent registry keys that are used by the IP (TCP/IP) stack to reach the same result as the removal and the reinstallation of the protocol.
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DHCP\Parameters\
Command usage
netsh int ip reset [log_file_name]
To manually run the command successfully, you must specify a file name for the log where actions that are taken by netsh will be recorded. For example, at a command prompt, type either of the samples that are listed in the "Command samples" section. The TCP/IP stack will then be reset on a system, and the actions that were taken will be recorded in the log file, Resetlog.txt. The first sample creates the log file in the current directory, while the second sample creates a path where the log will reside. In either case, where the specified log file already exists, the new log will be appended to the end of the existing file.
Warning Programs that access or monitor the Internet such as antivirus, firewall or proxy clients may be adversely affected when you run the netsh winsock reset command. If you have a program that no longer functions correctly after you use this resolution, reinstall the program to restore functionality.
