Unable to create socket! Error?

[Charleyjones]

HI All,

I copied W98 from one Drive to another one manually and then used my W98 upgrade CD with
a boot disk and installed it so then it would boots up. Now after I dial up and it connects ok then all I get is an unable to create socket! error and I can't go anywhere?
Please Help, Thanks very much.

Regards,

Charley

Is that in Netscape or which OS? You do mean when you try to use your browser, right?

Charley, have you met Billy?

My advice to both of you would be to remove and reinstall Dialup Networking (add/remove) programs and TCP/IP (Control Panel>Network Applet). You will need your Windows CD or to point to c:\windows\options\cabs (if present) when prompte for a disk.

You may also need to independently restore the wsock32.dll
