Cannot access the web

[Phil]

Hi all,

Posted this yesterday and got a reply back that didn't really address the
issue. FWIW, I am a MS partner but thought I would check here for a fix
before I went to the private group for a lengthy resolution. Customer has
no problem with reimaging the computer, nor do I but if there appears to be
a less destructive solution I'm open to suggestions. See previous thread
below.

Thanks
Phil

This connection is over dial up, and another computer in the house can
connect consistently without any problems. I was even connected at the same
time (on both) and saw no issues on the one computer and the issue in the
original post on the other. This problem happens regardless of whether I'm
connected at the office or at home over dial up. So it appears to be an
issue with this computer specifically.

There are several things hitting the winsock lately. I think it's worth a shot at that fix.

After you run Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta), you have network-related problems, or you receive an error message:

You receive an An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket error message when you try to connect to a network:
