As some of you know 3in1 can cause a right **** up in windows XP regarding your TCP/IP Protocol Driver causing DHCP and other crictical processes from starting which all lies down to 3in1 corrupting Winsock.
Basically a simple process will recover the problem, but not stop it from happening.
Firstly Click start -> run
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
Find Winsock and Winsock2 keys and Delete them both, exit then reboot.
After your computer has restarted;
Right-click the network connection, and then click Properties.
Click Install.
Click Protocol, and then click Add.
Click Have Disk.
Type C:\Windows\inf, and then click OK.
On the list of available protocols, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click OK.
Finally restart your computer again and your computer will function as normal.
