Hello

I have a computer with winock error. Cannot browse web pages, pickup
emails, if use ping command - see corruption in command console.

In previous versions of Windows I would have uninstalled TCP/IP or
networking and re-installed. What is best way to fix this problem on
Windows XP?

Info re: lspfix and winsockfix....

From: Matt DuBois [MS]

[[One SP2 related update to your standard spiel below is that LSPFIX (and
possibly WINSOCKFIX) is no longer necessary
with SP2. "netsh winsock reset" will reset the winsock catalog to a nice,
clean state.]]

[If you have suddenly lost your Internet connection after removing spy-ware
(such as NewDotNet, and Commonname) the following steps will help restore
your connection. This works for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP.

1.) Download WinsockFix.zip. (by: Option^Explicit)
http://members.shaw.ca/installations/WinsockFix.zip

2.) UnZip WinsockFix.zip (Pay close attention to where the file is extracted
to.)
3.) Run WinsockFix.exe.
4.) Click the Fix button.

This program will clean up your TCP/IP connection and rebuild the database.
After the program is complete, reboot and your problems should be resolved.

Winsock and TCP Repair Utility
This Utility Restores Registry Keys, that may become corrupt after Removing
the Host Program that
Modified them.]
-----------

The Winsockfix Utility will:
1.) Detect your current Operating System
2.) Release the IP address, taking you "Offline"
3.) Reset the TCP stack using Netsh.exe (Windows XP only)
4.) Delete the current Registry TCP and Winsock Values
5.) Import new "Working" Registry Values
6.) Backup any Current "Hosts" file
7.) Replace the "Hosts" file with a default one
8.) Reboot the Computer
