Repair TCP/IP Protocol Suite Errors
If you cannot connect to the Internet, the TCP/IP protocol may have been corrupted, and you may have to reset TCP/IP. This has the same effect as removing and reinstalling TCP/IP. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. It can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network (either an intranet or an extranet). TCP/IP is the suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet. TCP/IP uses several protocols, the two main ones being TCP and IP. TCP/IP is one of the core components required by your Windows computer to connect successfully to the Internet.
