Problem
========
I just bought and installed a wireless Notebook card Adapter linksys WPC11
ver. 4
I ran the setup without problem and is making contact with my Internet
provider. The problem is that the connexion is not done automaticcally when
logon to Windows, instead i recieve an error message saying: 10093
Successul WSAStartup not yet performed.
Will someone help me out on how to fix this problem.
Solution:
=======
Error explaination:
WSANOTINITIALISED (10093)
Translation: Successful WSAStartup not yet performed.
Description: Either the program has not called WSAStartup
(Wsapiref_1v8y.asp) or WSAStartup (Wsapiref_1v8y.asp) failed. The program
may be accessing a socket that the current active task does not own (that
is, it is trying to share a socket between tasks), or WSACleanup has been
called too many times.
THE FIRST THING TO TRY IS UNINSTALLATION AND RE-INSTALLATION OF TCP/IP
If that does not help, try to do the Winsock fix:
Backup the registry first
Step 1:
Action: Uninstall TCP/IP Dial-Up Networking (NO RESTART)
Step 2:
Action:Uninstall Dial-Up Networking (NO RESTART)
Step 3:
Action: Delete the following registry Keys:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\AFVXD
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\DHCP
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\MSTCP
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\Winsock
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\Winsock2
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinSock2
-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess\Authentica
tion\SMM
_Files
Step 4:
Action: restart in Normal Mode
Step 5:
Action: Install Dial-Up Networking and restart in Normal Mode
Step 6
Check whether TCP/IP is installed, if not install it and restart in
normal mode
Alternatively
