Can't Search IE 6. "Failure flushing ARP Cache" (WXP)

[dkoch]

I can't search from IE 6.. I am using WXP Pro. Every time I search I generate error envolving mod: msxml.dll. I have cable modem. I have tried to repair my connection after the error and I get message that repair failed and "Failure flushing ARP Cache." Can you help? I may have over tweaked my connection and I do not know what change has been made to registry or settings that is causing error. Thanks.

dkoch,

There are a couple things it may be related to.

Depending on the version of XML you are uing, you might try re-registering the DLL file.

Try regsvr32.exe MSXML3.DLL
then regsvr32.exe MSXML.DLL

I would start with the one above, then try others in the c:\windows\system directory such as msxml3a.dll, msxml3r.dll, Msxmla.dll, Msxmlr.dll

There also may be one in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\XML directory.

A alternative may be to delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\ARPCACHE key after exporting it.

Yes, you are correct! The key is missing! Is there any way that I can recover it?

dkoch,

Well, actually I deleted mine and it did not re-create the key, nor am I having any problems.

Since the error was with a particular DLL, I'd check that first using the regsvr32.exe command. You should receive this message:

<font color=blue>DLLRegisterServer in msxml.dll succeeded</font color=blue>
