How to get Tcp/Ip?

Question

I just bought a Dell laptop and I formatted....now I can't connect to the network or the internet....I don't have a TCP/IP

What should I do?

Answer 1

TCP/IP is a standard protocol (network communication rules) that comes with most modern operating systems.

Formatting your system wiped out your operating system and all of the network protocols that it came with (netbios, tcp/ip, etc)

What you need to do is to install an operating system and it will include the necessary support for tcp/ip

Answer 2

You didn't give enough information. To connect to a network your computer has to be joined (to the domain or workgroup). This is done by right-clicking my computer, then properties, then computer name, then follow the instructions.
To obtain an IP address you need to have one assigned to you from a DHCP server or manually enter one. From a command prompt type: ipconfig This will tell you your existing IP address. Typing ipconfig /release, followed by ipconfig /renew will renew your address if a DHCP server is accessible. If not you will probably get an APIPA address with a number of 169.xxx.xxx.xxx.

To manually enter an IP address, go to: Start/control panel/network connections, then right click your local area connection, go to properties, then TCP/IP. manually enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS servers, etc.

Answer 3

If you reinstalled the complete XP OS you can reinstall the tcp/ip stack by typing this command on your cmd prompt netsh int ip reset log.txt Type this command then hit enter in a few seconds you Will get the cmd line back , type exit then hit enter and reboot the pc this will reinstall the tcp/ip stack.

Answer 4

Isn't that a "network protocol" and can't you just enable it in the control panel? Look in "Help" - it tells you how to set up your network connections. Search TCP/IP.

Answer 5

Your question is vague but if you mean that you cannot see TCP/IP bind with your Network Card then you just have to install it again.

Go to your network card's properties Window and click Install... and choose Protocol and add TCP/IP.

If this is not what you mean then you need to clarify.

Answer 6

If you didn't use the System Restore Disk, you may need to install the Network drivers.

Go to Dell's Support website. Enter your Service Tag. Specify your Operating System.

You may have to go to another system with Internet access and burn the drivers to a CD or USB memory device.

Answer 7

Unplug your modem, both from the outlet and computer. Shut down your computer, wait about 30 seconds, and turn on the computer.

Plug the modem into your computer BEFORE you plug it into the wall.
