98 to xp upgrade - now wsa 10093 error

[jaustin]

I upgraded win98 to win xp and planned to use a linksys wireless card in my
pc.
The upgrade went well but in trying to set up the wireless card I
encountered WSANOTINITIALISED 10093 error.
Support at Linksys says this is an operating system error. I have read
several things (not of which I understand) and have no idea of what to do
next. Can you help please?

I found a fix for this that worked for me. Here is the link for the message
board where I found the fix

And here is the text:
This could be a Winsock catalog error


I have traced several of these problems to improperly configured winsock
LSPs. Run "winmsd" and go to Components/Network/Protocol. Look at the
names in the list, anything with "MSAFD" in it or the "RSVP xxx Service
Provider" should be fine. Anything else is suspect, and uninstalling the
owning program might help.


If that fails or your provider list is empty, you may need to rebuild the
catalog from scratch. The following instructions will rebuild your catalog
for TCP/IP. If you are using any other transports (If you don't know, then
you probably aren't) then you will have to reinstall them as well.


1. Backup and delete the following registry keys


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2


2. Reboot


3. Go to the network connections folder, right click the icon for your
network connection, and select properties.


4. Click install, choose "protocol", and click "add..."


5. Click "Have Disk...", enter "\windows\inf", click OK


6. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click OK


7. When the process in complete, reboot
