socket?

in cmd i typed ipconfig/renew and this message came up : An error occurred
while renewing Interface Local Area Connection: An operation was attempted on
something that is not a socket.

A guy from linksys told me it was somehting wrong with xp? socket problem?

Perhaps it is because you left out a space. The command should be ipconfig
/renew, AFTER you've used ipconfig /release.

Assuming that Chris H.'s advice is not the problem, try downloading this
app:

http://www.tacktech.com/pub/winsockfix/WinsockFix.zip

It will do the following:

1.) Detect your current Operating System
2.) Release the IP address, taking you "Offline"
3.) Reset the TCP stack using Netsh.exe (Windows XP only)
4.) Delete the current Registry TCP and Winsock Values
5.) Import new "Working" Registry Values
6.) Backup any Current "Hosts" file
7.) Replace the "Hosts" file with a default one
8.) Reboot the Computer

This error usually occurs because of spyware.

Cheers!

Jim

On Windows XP the download is unnecessary. On an XP SP2 machine, simply go
to Start/Run and type in "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, then
click the OK button. On XP prior to SP2 use "netsh int ip reset [logfile
name]" again without the quotes. Either can be also run from the Command
Prompt.
