If by "correct for" you mean obtain SEs that are robust to within-panel
autocorrelation, or you mean obtain coefficient estimates that are
efficient in the presence of arbitrary within-panel autocorrelation, you
can use -xtivreg2- with the cluster option, and with the cluster and
gmm2s options, respectively.

-ivreset- doesn't work with panel data (at least, not yet - it's
something I've thought about). But if you are using first differences
or fixed effects, you can first transform your data "by hand". For
example, if you are using an FE model, then after demeaning your data by
hand (say, using Ben Jann's -center- command) you can estimate the model
using -ivreg2- or -ivregress- and then call -ivreset-.
The only thing you need to be aware of is that small sample statistics
you get for the FE estimator done by hand will need a dof correction for
the fixed effects. This is discussed in standard textbooks, so it
shouldn't be too hard to find.
Cheers,
Mark
