Error Messages During Startup

[Guest]

When starting my Toshiba Laptop I get 3 pop up error messages.

1. CFSServ Create socket WSAENET DOWN A socket operation encountered a dead
network

2. Listen Error

3. Recv Socket Int Connect Error

So far my PC seems to be running normal but what caused this and how can I
fix it?

cfsserv.exe is a process belonging to Toshiba's ConfigFree utility and
searches for Wireless Devices.

This program is non-essential process to the running of the system.

Apparently, cfsserv.exe starts from...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

If you don't use wireless networks, you won't need cfsserv.exe running.

OH! Well... I have been trying to set up a wireless network with my desktop.
I installed a D-link adapter into my HP Pavillion and the pc connects to it
excellant. BUT no internet....

I am using a Linkskeys wireless-g broadband router.

My laptop (Toshiba) that displays these error messages use's the Linkskeys
to conect to the internet wirelessly. It came with it's own adapter.

I have been working on this networking problem for a while but became
frustrated and gave up for a while. I use the HP p.c. for off line work and
I laugh because it says I am connected and ready for the internet.

Thoughts?! Help?! Thanks........

I don't know anything about wireless networks. Maybe someone who does will
post.

You have (at least) two different things going on here.

On your Toshiba, you probably have two different configuration utilities
attempting to control your wireless adapter. Most people in this
situation have problems connecting, so if all that you get are these
annoying error messages (but you can still connect), you're luckier than
most. For background, see http://www.ezlan.net/wzc.html

Without looking at your computer, I can't tell if your wireless adapter
is being controlled by the Toshiba app (despite the error messages) or
if it is being controlled by Windows Wireless Zero Configuration. I
suspect the latter. Try disabling CFSServ and see if you can still
connect wirelessly. The safest and easiest way to temporarily disable
this app is to use the msconfig.exe utility:

Start > Run > msconfig.exe > Click OK. On the Startup tab, UNcheck the
line for CFSServ, OK your way out and reboot.

If this makes the error messages go away while still allowing you to
connect wirelessly, you can either remove the registry entry Wes
identified or just check the box on the msconfig warning message to keep
it from displaying again.

If, after you disable CFSServ, you no longer can connect wirelessly,
then you will have to go back to msconfig and re-enable it. Then try
disabling WZC, as explained at the ezlan link above. If this doesn't
help, then check Toshiba support for help (you could also try
temporarily disabling your antivirus app; I've seen a couple of posts
that suggest there may be some interaction with McAfee that may cause this).

As for getting the D-Link wireless adapter to work with your hp desktop,
try posting in microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless and give as
much detail as you can about what you tried, what error messages appear,
and what symptoms you observe.
