TCP/IP CP Reported Error 2

[MHansel739]

I am getting the following error when trying to use a dial-up Internet connection. Now, this is happening on TWO different machines - both with clean system builds.

"TCP/IP CP Reported error 2: The system cannot find the file specified".

Now, both machines are running Windows XP w/ latest updates and latest drivers for modems. One is a laptop w/ built-in 10/100 NIC and 56k modem. The other is a desktop w/ a 56k modem, but had a NIC in it originally. I followed ALL of the steps that I found from Microsoft's website and still NO avail (articles Q165846, Q169116 and Q146333).

I use the dial-up Internet on the laptop when customer's do not have DSL/Cable modem available, so this is pretty important. And the other machine is a customer's PC and they use AOL (which connects to AOL, but anything that has to do with TCP/IP doesn't work).

We can dial out with these machines, and I tested several dial-ups on another PC w/ NO problem. I can dial into Citrix ICA clients and using pcAnywhere, but nothing that has to do with TCP/IP. It seems to me, it is as though TCP/IP is NOT bound to the modems, even though on the laptop, the modem has been there the whole time.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance,

Matthew Hansel

This issue has been solved - we had a registry tweak that we were using that was exported from another system - this was causing all of the problems. We have since modified this registry tweak file and have solved the issue.

Thank you for your help.

I have the same problem on my XP Pro. I tried to delete & reinstall the TCP/IP, Winsock, Winsock2, RAS and Interfaces registry keys (on LocalMachine\system\currentcontrolSet) from those of an old working XP installation on a different partition of the same machine. I tried also Q287395, but nothing of this was of any help at all.

Anybody here with the same problem can explain how did he solve this issue?

Thank you

So has does anybody have and answer to the question? I also have this problem, however I do know that while cleaning the registry of a worm, I did delete a file from it, however I did not write it down, so I know that something is missing , just don't know what.
