Winsock issues Win XP

Recommended Posts

I believe my winsock file is corrupted. I keep on getting flaky connections. Sometimes it holds then it drops. I also notice when it drops my IP address is also lost when I do an ipconfig check. System is then unable to dhcp a new ip address unless I re-boot machine. I have 2 other PCs on this network 1 running xp the other win 7 both have no issues connecting through the router. Router is BT home hub

Does anybody have info on how to repair it or will I need to do a full reformat. I also do not want to pay for a software fix eg PC Health Advisor.

I have already tried winsock xp fix which failed. It is rather a techi post but maybe Hawki can shed some light on the issue.

Thanks Darkember

Use your recovery disc or the original xp cd, and boot from the disc and do a windows xp repair, this will deleate all the system files and replace them but keep all your other data intact.

Back up everything as iff u were doing a reformat just in case.

When doing a repair dont use the recovery console, go to the next stage and do a repair from selecting R., if u dont know how, youtube is your friend. thumbs
