How to Disable Media
Sense for TCP/IP in Windows
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 239924 - Windows
contains the "Media Sensing" feature. You may
use this feature on a Windows-based computer
using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) to detect whether or not your
network media is in a "link state". A "link
state" is defined as the physical media connecting
or inserting itself on the network. For example,
assuming a 10bt or 100bt physical media, Ethernet
network adapters and hubs typically have a "link"
light to indicate the current connection status.
This is the same condition in which Windows
can detect a link. Whenever Windows detects
a "down" state on the media, it removes the
bound protocols from that adapter until it is
detected as "up" again. There may be situations
where you may not want your network adapter
to detect this state, and you can configure
this by editing the registry.
HOW TO: Install NetBEUI
on Windows XP
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 301041 - Microsoft
has discontinued support for the NetBIOS Extended
User Interface (NetBEUI) network protocol in
Windows XP. However, it is understandable that
migration to another network protocol, such
as TCP/IP could involve significant time in
planning and testing. Therefore, the NetBEUI
protocol has been included on the Windows XP
CD-ROM under the VALUEADD directory. This article
describes the process for manually installing
the unsupported NetBEUI protocol on a computer
running Windows XP. The NetBEUI files will need
to be manually copied from the Windows XP CD-ROM
before NetBEUI will show up in the list of installable
network protocols.

HOW TO: Rename a
Computer with the Netdom.exe Utility
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 298593 - This
article describes how to use the Netdom.exe
utility (included in Windows XP Support Tools)
to rename a computer that is a member of a Windows
2000 or Windows XP domain. This procedure can
be performed either locally or remotely on the
computer which is being renamed. Also, the procedure
does not require you to reset or manually re-create
the computer account in the domain. The Netdom.exe
utility has the ability to rename a computer
that is a member of a Windows XP domain. However,
to rename the computer, you must be able to
specify the user accounts that have local administrative
permissions and the object of the computer account
in Active Directory
How to Reset Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 299357 - When
viewing 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 Windows XP, the TCP/IP stack
is considered a core component of the operating
system; therefore, it is not possible to uninstall
TCP/IP in Windows XP. In extreme cases, reinstalling
the Internet Protocol stack may be the most
appropriate solution. With the NetShell utility,
you can now reset the TCP/IP stack back to a
pristine state, to the same state as when the
operating system was installed

HOW TO: Use the Alternate
Configuration Feature for Multiple Network Connectivity
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 283676 - This
article describes how to use the Alternate Configuration
functionality to establish multiple-network
connectivity. If you are a mobile computer user,
you can use the Alternate Configuration functionality
to maintain seamless operation on both office
and home networks without having to manually
reconfigure TCP/IP settings. This feature specifies
that TCP/IP uses an alternative configuration
if a DHCP server is not found. The Alternate
Configuration functionality is useful in situations
where you use the computer on more than one
network, where one of those networks does not
have a DHCP server, and you do not want to use
an automatic private Internet protocol (IP)
addressing configuration.
HOW TO: Use a Handheld
PC or a Pocket PC as a Mobile Terminal
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 314537
- Increasingly, users of wireless mobile devices
require access to the functionality of their
desktop computers. Windows XP and Windows 2000
permit you to do this. By using the Handheld
PC or the Pocket PC, you can connect to an application
server and run programs just as if you were
sitting at the server computer itself. Connections
to application servers can be made across wireless
local area networks (LANs), or across the Internet
by using virtual private networking (VPN).
