TCP/IP Protocol Driver failure

Asked by whynot in WInsock, IPSec Security Protocol, Internet Protocols

Tags: driver, protocol, failed

I have a computer that was operating fine, and then today, in the event viewer I see 100's of TCP/IP errors, I cannot connect to the access point (however the client portion of Netgear does show connected), but I do not get an IP address.  When I run IPCONFIG to review, I get:
An internal error occurred: The request is not supported.
Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help.
Additional information: Unable to query host name.

In the event viewer, I am seeing "The TCP/IP Protocol Driver service failed to start due to the following error: the specified driver is invalid."

I reviewed c:\windows\system32 and I do not see afd.sys, tcpip.sys, or netbt.sys.  I have attempted to rebuild winsock with the command: netsh winsock reset, but this has had no effect.

I appreciate any and all advice!
