ok I am fixing out schools computers so they will print...I go into the command prompt and do the normal 127.0.0.1 ping to test the network card...and I get an error of 10043...wtf is that? I have tried to fix it once before and got another error...fixed that one and it went back to the first error...HELP!

 

What OS you running try google search. Here is a link

 

'98 and I did a search on it b4 and that is how I fixed it the first time

 

windows...forgot to put that down

 

It is a Microsoftism or an I - D - 10 - T error...

 

I-D-10-T those are the best kind lol. Man the first question i gotta ask is why is a school still running win98



I got this from the microsoft knowledge base:

Error code 10043 indicates that the TCP/IP stack is not being initialized. This error can occur if you have TCP/IP files with a .386 extension in your Windows folder from the Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 32-bit TCP/IP stack

I hope this helps, it really doesnt say anything about this happening while pinging loopback but hey, im a pc tech and these things never cease to amaze me

 

cuz our school sucks....lol our budget is rather limited. That is why I, a student, have to fix them...I have been doing it for the past couple of years now...not a penny given to me for it. but yeah it isnt the OS that sucks it's our computers...have you ever heard of QUANTEX! dunn dunn dunn.....

and as far as the .386 files go...tried to rename them...didnt work.

ohh and what is a I - D - 10 - T error?? thought I would ask...I am always wanting to learn more about computers.

 

ID10T = IDIOT!

 

wow...read between the lines friesen *smacks himself on the forehead* I feel stupid now
