How to Disable Media Sense for TCP/IP in Windows
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 239924 - Windows contains the "Media Sensing" feature. You may use this feature on a Windows-based computer using Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to detect whether or not your network media is in a "link state".
A "link state" is defined as the physical media
connecting or inserting itself on the network. For example,
assuming a 10bt or 100bt physical media, Ethernet network adapters
and hubs typically have a "link" light to indicate the
current connection status. This is the same condition in which
Windows can detect a link. Whenever Windows detects a
"down" state on the media, it removes the bound
protocols from that adapter until it is detected as "up"
again. There may be situations where you may not want your network
adapter to detect this state, and you can configure this by
editing the registry.
HOW TO: Install NetBEUI on Windows XP
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 301041 - Microsoft has discontinued support for the NetBIOS Extended User Interface (NetBEUI) network protocol in Windows XP. However, it is understandable that migration to another network protocol, such as TCP/IP could involve significant time
in planning and testing. Therefore, the NetBEUI protocol has been
included on the Windows XP CD-ROM under the VALUEADD directory.
This article describes the process for manually installing the
unsupported NetBEUI protocol on a computer running Windows XP. The
NetBEUI files will need to be manually copied from the Windows XP
CD-ROM before NetBEUI will show up in the list of installable
network protocols.

HOW TO: Rename a Computer with the Netdom.exe Utility
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 298593 - This article describes how to use the Netdom.exe utility (included in Windows XP Support Tools) to rename a computer that is a member of a Windows 2000 or Windows XP domain. This procedure can be performed either locally or remotely on the
computer which is being renamed. Also, the procedure does not
require you to reset or manually re-create the computer account in
the domain. The Netdom.exe utility has the ability to rename a
computer that is a member of a Windows XP domain. However, to
rename the computer, you must be able to specify the user accounts
that have local administrative permissions and the object of the
computer account in Active Directory
How to Reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 299357 - When viewing the list of components for a network interface, you may notice that
the Uninstall button is disabled when Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) is selected. In Windows XP, the TCP/IP stack is
considered a core component of the operating system; therefore, it
is not possible to uninstall TCP/IP in Windows XP. In extreme
cases, reinstalling the Internet Protocol stack may be the most
appropriate solution. With the NetShell utility, you can now reset
the TCP/IP stack back to a pristine state, to the same state as
when the operating system was installed

HOW TO: Use the Alternate Configuration Feature for Multiple Network Connectivity
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 283676 - This article describes how to use the Alternate Configuration functionality to establish multiple-network connectivity. If you are a mobile computer user, you can use the Alternate Configuration functionality to maintain seamless
operation on both office and home networks without having to
manually reconfigure TCP/IP settings. This feature specifies that
TCP/IP uses an alternative configuration if a DHCP server is not
found. The Alternate Configuration functionality is useful in
situations where you use the computer on more than one network,
where one of those networks does not have a DHCP server, and you
do not want to use an automatic private Internet protocol (IP)
addressing configuration.
HOW TO: Use a
Handheld PC or a Pocket PC as a Mobile Terminal
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 314537 - Increasingly,

PC, you can connect to an application server and run programs just
as if you were sitting at the server computer itself. Connections
to application servers can be made across wireless local area
networks (LANs), or across the Internet by using virtual private
networking (VPN).
