The tcpip.SYS file in windows xp sp2 limits socket connections and prevents the creation of RAW TCP sockets, and prevetents any UDP type packets from leaving the stack that have ip addresses that arent present on a network adapter installed in the machine. This has been done to circumvent known threats by malatious code , and Networking tools.. .. Needless to say.. my sentiments on the new SP2 TCP/IP stack is very low. but to elate to the summary, yes, the tcpip.sys file is essential for a Windows based machine to use the tcp/ip protocals(ie use Networking or the Internet).
