Error 84

Hello,
Everytime I want to switch between configurations I get "error 84 with every line within the script? Are there solutions for this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Jurgen Lemmens

Microsofts error code table sais: "IP not enabled on adapter".

1. Are you sure that an IP protocol is installed for this adapter?

2. Please check if the service "DNS-Client" is active. (Start, Run: "services.msc").

3. There's a tiny tool called WinSock XP Fix 1.2. It helped me one with my network when I had big problems with it. Just run it and click "Fix". All protocols and registry settings are fixed automatically.

4. Re-/Install new drivers for your network adapter

5. Run Windows in secure mode and try it out again (both NetSetMan and "ipconfig /all") to see if it works then. If it does then its probably a problem with some installed software.

Try those points and have a look after each try if it helped so that it's clear which method can solve the problem problem.

I've just tried installing NetSetMan freeware on a brand new install of Windows Vista; it executed after I ran it with Administrator rights.

It will modify my wired Ethernet adapter's IP information, but I also get error 84 when trying to modify my WLAN adapter, an Intel 2915ABG miniPCI card.

I have the IP protocol installed.

I have both of the services you mention running.

I should not have to run a XP util on Vista, especially when everything else appears to be working fine.

Is the WLAN adaper activated? If it is deactived (by hardware trigger or by software) Vista will show that no IP protocol is available on that device.

Error 84 means that the adapter is not connected at the moment. For proper results it should be connected during the activation of a profile.
