Fellow nerds: Windows XP question

[supersizeme]

If SQLServer is some sort of Japanese vomit video enhancer than I've probably got it.

I am going to first try reloading the NIC drivers, then the tcp/ip stack, then the whole OS if all else fails.

Please let us know. I like to store this stuff in my memory bank for further use.

I think I fixed it. I first tried reinstalling the drivers for the NIC, but that didn't help. So I tried to uninstall TCP/IP from Control Panel/Network, but it won't let you. It's considered part of the core OS, so they won't let you remove it. I found a command searching online that does exactly what reinstalling TCP/IP would do(i.e. resets all the TCP/IP parameters back to the defaults that came when the OS was installed).

netsh interface ip reset logfile.txt

"logfile.txt" is a file you can designate where you can see the output of what was done with the reset command

it seems to have fixed it and saved me an episode of reinstall drama

too lazy to read whats above... but if you completely uninstall (low level) the NIC drivers and reinstall them, it will also remove the previous tcp/ip settings.

Hey! on XP the problem could be related to the QOS Packet shceduler. It seriously fucks up all the time, and limit bandwith/interfere with other applications. i suggest you disable it.

This page explains how to remove it:
