HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, according to the article it says that I have to :

Use Registry Editor to export and delete the Winsock and
Winsock2 registry subkeys, and then remove and reinstall
TCP/IP on Microsoft Windows 2000

but it also says that using Registry Editor might cause
serious problems. I am not willing to take that risk.
Also the TCP/IP part also seems a bit complicated or
something that I would not usually do by myself.

This problem is for a single PC at home. Please tell me
some other ways (easier and safer ways) I can use to solve
the problem.

If you are on Windows 2000, there is some effort involved. If you would
prefer an automated tool, there are several third-party tools which can do
this job effectively and easily.

One of them is WinsockXPfix.exe.

Here's a reputable reference to a source and clear instructions for using
this tool:
