Hi Rick

thanks for your response. I will try your suggestions in the next few days and post back.

No, I did not reinstall the OS. We have a new Mifi from Verizon  the only way to go online out here, wasn't able to connect and started to reconfigure.

How exactly do I run the ipconfig/log?

Toni

Toni,

Hit the Windows key and the R keys at the same time. Type

cmd

hit enter. Type

ipconfig /all         (space between the g and /)

Then you'll need to copy and paste the information back here. It's easier to follow the instructions at ipconfig /all It will make it easier to copy and paste or maybe even attach.

Rick

Toni,

Glad you got it working! :emotion-21: Thanks for posting abck. I'm thinking that what issues you had, the winsock got corrupt. Rinning any peer to peer programs can corrupt the winsock and cause issues.

Take care,

Rick

I had the same problem after installing automatic microsoft updates today. I ran the winsockxpfix as suggested and everything is now working as normal. Thanks for the advice

I hope this isn't something that's going to be with all XP systems. I usually install WinsockXPFix on all the computers I own. It also works for Vista. It works for Windows 7 but you get an error message. Below is the Microsoft method.
