Winsock Error / Connecting to Internet

Hi

Since 2 days, i have a win98SE computer that can't connect to the web.
It was usually connected through a cable modem (DHCP server) and
suddenly, it stopped working. Most of the domain names resolves (when
i do a ping command), altho only a small amount of website ping my
requests (like google.ca does, but not msn.com for exemple). And i
cant browse the web, FTP, email ... nothing works. I get the error
10055 and something 10038, which is a winsock error.

I tried searching the web for a solution and here's what i did:
- Reinstalled Win98 over the other copy (not a clean install, basicly
just reinstalling)
- Deleted Nic adapter + TCPIP and everything else in network
components and reinstalled. Even tried switching the NIC Adapter.
- Deleted registry entries about winsock and winsock2 (Local machine /
System / ControlCurrent set / services or something like that). Anyway
i removed both and put some .reg that some guy suggested on a forum)

Basicly, it like there are no sockets opened at startup ... Anyone has
a way to fix this ? I dont want to format here.

Thx in advance!

Hi

Thanks for trying to help. Unfortunatly, it still doesnt work.

Most of the tools in hint#3 reinstall DUN, which in fact i dont need.
I still get the same winsock errors (10055) in every program, after
having runned those little tools.

And as i said in the first msg, i can still ping some of the websites
and DNS resolves for all domain names. But, no transfers occurs, and
thats very frustrating.

Any other clue ?

Thanks in advance!

François

Did you use one of the utilities Tip #3 offers to fix the WinSock?
