Socket Operation

I am replacing my hardwired networked system with a
wireless system (all components are Linksys 2.4 GHz
Wireless-G). The two desktop computers are Windows 98SE
and the laptop is Windows ME. After quite an effort, I
got the two destops working, but I can't get the laptop
working. I get an error message that states "10038:
Socket operation non-socket." I thought the problem might
be a bad driver, so I went to Linksys' website and got
their latest driver and installed it. I still get the
message after I install the wireless adapter and turn on
the computer. The hardware gets installed correctly, and
then the error message pops up. The Linksys wireless
adapter model number is WPC54G.

The laptop is a HP Pavilion N5350 laptop. The PCMCIA
socket is Texas Instruments PCI-1420 CardBus Controller.
The driver was provided by Microsoft and is dated
6/8/2000.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Paul

Check for any adware or spyware gumming up the system. Go to
http://www.lavasoftusa.com, download AdAware, install it, update it, run it.

I ran Adware and SpyBot 1.2, then reinstalled the Linksys
software and then the wireless adapter. I still get the
same error message: "10038: Socket operation non-socket."

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

Try removing and reinstalling the TCP/IP protocol to see if that straightens
things out.

5 digit error codes are Winsock errors. Try rebuilding your winsock.

I gave up trying to get it to work. Too many problems. One computer
wouldn't connect to the network, one wouldn't connect to the internet. I
took all wireless equipment out and went back to the good old wired system.
It works fine now with no problems.

Thanks for everyone's help.
