I have a WindowsNT Workstation named “Dual3”. Having found that a user installed all kinds of screen savers and had been visitin porn sites during the night, I download and installed Lavasoft’s adaware. Trying it install it, I ran into an error, the system was still running Service Pack 4.
So, I installed IE 6 and SP 6a, and did the whole reboot. Upon comming up, I received the following error.
“Initialization of the dynamic link library c:\winnt\system32\dhcpsvc.dll failed. The pricess is terminating abnormally.”
Since the file name clearly states that it has something to do with DHCP, i changed Dual3 to static and assigned it an available IP address. Rebooted the computer, and it came up to the same point. Just now, I tried and was successful at pingin Dual3 by its hostname, which was resolved to the correct IP address. The shares on the computer are accessible, and it can access the shares on other computers. But certain network apps are not running properly, and I can’t get connection on IE.
I have tried removing network completely to reload it, but run into and error every time I try to uninstall TCP/IP. I have also tried copying the dhcpsvc.dll from another computer that has the same setup. No dice.
Any help would be appreciated.
