This patch DOES work and fixes the REAL issue which is a change to the TCPIP.SYS file.
NOTE: If you ever re-install or repair your TCP/IP protocol or your network system/drivers/files, then you will need to re-run this patch since windows will replace the TCPIP.SYS file with the one on your CD.
SUGGESTION: If you want to modify your XP CD to include a patched TCPIP.SYS after you slipstream the CD with Service Pack 2, you can follow the guide below:
