Windows ME TCP/IP issue

NickinNaples · 10-12-2004, 08:55 PM

I resently signed up with Sprint for their DSL service. I was having issues with it so I contacted their Online Support. I was told to remove all entries of TCP/IP from my network in control panel then shut down restart and go back to network in contro panel click add protocol add then microsoft and then choose tcp/ip I did all of this except when I got to Microsoft there was no TCP/IP to choose. I then called there help line and was told to go to run type command and in the DOS screen type ipconfig I did this and recieved a message that ip could not be found.
I do not have a disk none was supplied when I purchased the computer. Can anyone help. can I copy the needed information from somewhere what can I do?

well, i dont know why the tcp/ip protocol isnt showing up on the choices of ones you can install, but i can tell you that you will be able to install it without the me cd.

it is possible someone could put the info in a patch, but you'd have to download it, and i dont think it would be legal anyways.

try to find someone with a windows ME cd, and this will work.

if you get your hands on one, let us know, and we can try and figure out why tcp/ip isnt on the list.

since this doesnt pertain to this users' problem, i see no point in you following me around the board posting for me to answer your message.

please, stop hijacking threads.

if you don't have a suggestion for this user, don't post on this subject.
