Fatal Error Cannot Read Ip Configuration
to Tech Support Guy, we highly recommend that you visit our Guide for New Members. W98 winipcfg reports "fatal error, cannot read IP configuration." Discussion in 'Earlier Versions of Windows' started by Worried19, Sep 11, 2004. Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement Worried19 Thread Starter Joined: Aug 8, 2003 Messages: 170 My Windows 98 computer, when I run winipcfg, reports "fatal error, cannot read IP configuration." Started today. Used it earlier when BellSouth was helping me to get my w98 to connect to the internet, and it worked. Additional problems: Could only get to internet with w98 connected directly to the Westell modem. Would not, and still won't, connect through my D-Link router. The router works. Current setup is three computers connected to router, w98, wxp, wxp-laptop. wxp and wxp-laptop see each other on network, but w98 can't access network or be seen by the others. wxp and wxp-laptop access internet. The D-link network adapter card in the w98 is working according to Device Manager, but BellSouth's Connection Manager (that they say is worthless) says it is a Network adaptor error. On wxp, when I type ipconfig, it displays, but instantly closes, so that it is impossible to see what it says. There are thus several problems, but my first concern is the winipcfg failure. Can you help?

I realize now that I did a very stupid thing. At one point I was looking through Device Manager and saw that I had, under network adapters, dial-up networking and one other, and I removed them, leaving my D-Link adapter. Don't ask me why I did it. I think my alter came out or something. I was thinking that I had seen only the D-Link adapter under network adapters before, and that part of the problem might be that something I had done had installed these other two. So how do I get my dial-up network adapter back? TCP/IP is there and is bound to my D-Link adapter, and there aren't any other adapters (now) for it to be bound to. I'm having to leave for the weekend. Will check back. Thanks!! Worried19, Sep 11, 2004 #3 Worried19 Th

I could access the Internet from the PC and the laptop. https://forums.techguy.org/threads/w98-winipcfg-reports-fatal-error-cannot-read-ip-configuration.272935/ Then I played with File Sharing in Win98. I don't think it's related, but now I can't access the Internet, and I don't have an IP address on the laptop. The desktop (the one I'm typing on now) works fine. I have verified all the settings in TCP/IP and the DLink WiFi card. When I try to get the IP info (such as "winipcfg" or "ipconfig") I get https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/cannot-read-ip-configuration-error-solved.1097866/ an error message "Cannot read IP information". What is going on? I removed and reinstalled everything that pertains to the network. Should I reload Win98SE?? I have XP Home unopened, should I try that?

I think it would be easier to reinstall Windows. Apparently, if you get this message, there are 2 basic causes. The Network Adapter is not bound to TCP/IP, or the TCP/IP stack is corrupted. Guess which one mine is. :| So would reloading Windows 98SE over the existing setup fix this without having to manually edit the registry? ANSWER: I reloaded Win98SE on the laptop. Took all of 20 mins. #2 JamesM3M5, Jul 6, 2003 (You must log in or sign up to post here.) Show Ignored Content Loading...

Do you get the error only when you run winipcfg, or does it occur at some other time? TCPIP is loaded in the network control panel? Reply With Quote January 28th, 2001,10:34 AM #3 mrockx Guest yes to both questions. we are using tcpip and the error occurs with using novell client version 3.1 on a system running win95 and when we run winipcfg. Reply With Quote January 28th, 2001,03:11 PM #4 pretzelboy Guest Do you have the directory ws2backup on the system? The problem is usually caused by a corrupt installation of the Winsock 2.0 update. Try reverting back to the old winsock configuration using the ws2backup files. Then try re-installing the update.
