IPCONFIG output in WinXP Pro: What the hell!?

[CZroe]

What's with these other strange networking devices? I have an integrated LAN, a 3Com PCI NIC, and a Belkin Wireless (802.11b) PCI NIC. My friend was mucking around, trying to get Windows File Sharing to see the other PC on the network. Now each device seems to have two IP addresses, the second being an extremely cryptic-looking string.

Looks like you got IPV6 installed. MS IPV6 info on TechNet.

Well, since it isn't needed at this time...how would I remove it? Why would IPv6 add all of those strange additional devices?

 

[Garion]

Read the link - It tells you how to uninstall it.

Looks like my brother somehow posted w/ my ID (I don't rememebr ever leaving it logged in on this PC).

Thnx for the info though (I'm glad to know it)

was this ever corrected ???
I am having the same problem with the ip address 169 on wired desktop and 192 on wireless laptop and cannot connect to the net on the wired ,just the lappy..
How can I get the 192 ip back on the wired pc ???

It sounds like the wired isn't getting an DHCP IP from the router, assuming you have that kind of setup. Not sure on a fix, and I may be wrong...how is your setup?

I have a rca cable modem into a wireless 2.4 router,when I try to repair it says cannot renew ip address...
I know 98 had a way to renew the ip but cannot find a way on xp ???
I also tried the run command with t he ipconfig/all and it says cannot find it ???

 

[CZroe]

It sounds like the router is not providing DHCP. My router frequently chooses to stop providing DHCP to one of my systems. It refuses to acknowledge that the other system even exists no matter what until reset the router. After that, everything works fine for a few more days.

Grrr. I hate Linksys (WRT54G wirelesss 802.11g router with recent firmware).

Have you try to re-install the TCP/IP stack?
