I've used this on countless production machines where windows firewall exceptions have been in existence for a long time but no longer seem to work. I usually disable WF after that. What a piece of crap. Good post

Hi Scott
talkin about netsh commands, it happened to me to have this problem: I received 5 laptops from Dell that had all the same problem, they couldnt get any IP address from the DHCP server while tcp/ip was working correctly when using static assigned ip (maybe a corrupt windows image? who knowns.. one month later a received other two identical laptops and they were ok). After spending some (too much) time tryin to figure out what the problem was, i found this useful blog post: http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.html
that reported this netsh “cleaning” command:
“netsh winsock reset catalog” (for Win XP SP2)
After a reboot the problems was gone…
