Winsock reset & IE (Frank Saunders & All)

G

Guest

Still pursuing my s-l-o-w-l-y-loading webpages issue…
MS Article #811259; “How to determine whether the
Winsock2 key is corrupted†says to test with ‘msinfo32’
and “You will have ten sections under Protocol. The
section headings will include the following names if
the Winsock2 key is undamagedâ€...
My test only rendered the first 4 on the list – the
last 6 (all MSAFD-NETBIOS headings) never appeared.
Since I had already done a ‘netsh winsock reset’ twice
before, I’m not sure if this indicates a problem or not.
I am connected by network cable to a Belkin Wireless
Router which is fed from a Roadrunner Cable/Modem.
Before I proceeded with anymore winsock utilities,
I wanted to check whether or not it was necessary.
MS Bulletin: “Changes to Functionality in Windows XP
Service Pack 2†states the ‘netsh winsock reset catalog’
CMD can reset winsock to defaults but should be used
with care and I’m not sure that is the direction I should
go – I have ‘connectivity’, IE is just lagging.
Your comments are appreciated.

First, I am NOT an expert on this subject.

However, if no one suggests anything better in the next few hours I would
try
netsh winsock reset catalog
You could also reinstall the software for your router and modem.

Thank you Frank. I considered the Router re-install as well.
I think I would go that way b4 the winsock reset fix. I am
very curious tho as to why msinfo32 only detailed 4 headings
instead of the 10 that (it said) should be displayed.
Thanks again.

Please reply to your original thread (subject: Pages loading S-L-O-W-L-Y!).
When you do, state your Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP2).

PA Bear,
I'm not sure what you're asking me to do here - repeat what I already posted
on another question? All info was on the original thread "pages loading
s-l-o-w-l-y.."... this new thread was regarding a winsock reset question.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi R&R - From my Blog, Defending Your Machine, addy below in my Signature.
Try the .reg files appropriate to your OS if the netsh fix for your OS and
SP don't work or aren't applicable.


#########IMPORTANT#########
Before you try to remove spyware using any of the programs below, download
both a copy of LSPFIX here:
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

AND a copy of Winsockfix for W95, W98, and ME
http://www.tacktech.com/pub/winsockfix/WinsockFix.zip
Directions here: http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257

or here for Win2k/XP
http://files.webattack.com/localdl834/WinsockxpFix.exe
Info and download here: http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
Directions here: http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm

The process of removing certain malware may kill your internet connection.
If this should occur, these programs, LSPFIX and WINSOCKFIX, will enable you
to regain your connection.


For XP SP2, you can also use the Run command: netsh winsock reset catalog

to fix this problem without the need for these programs.

For XP pre-SP2, you can use this Run command: netsh int ip reset
resetlog.txt


Also, one MS technician suggested that the following sequence of Run
commands for XP may help in some cases:

netsh int reset all
ipconfig /flushdns

See also: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/winsock.htm for additional XPSP2
info/approaches using the netsh command.

An alternative approach with necessary .reg files which will often work even
when the above doesn't is defined here, courtesy of Bob Cerelli:
http://www.onecomputerguy.com/ie_tips.htm#winsock_fix Recommended.

Remember - you need to do any downloads ahead of time BEFORE you do any
malware cleaning.

I would think that the last 6 with NET-BIOS headings would be there only if
you have NET-BIOS installed for the connection. NET-BIOS is used for network
file and printer sharing, which should not affect the internet.

Thanks Jim,
I have DL'd the winsock fixes you recommended & checked out your blog.
(I have bookmarked for later - looks like a lot of excellent research work
there). I'm holding off on the winsock fix at the moment... as I said, I HAVE
a connection & it seems stable - just the annoying problem of pages
loading so slow (B4 & after my 'stickypops' adventure..)
Thanks for the info.

ImStumped - I'm not networked (other than to a wireless router) so that makes
sense about the Net-BIOS not showing up. Thanks for the 'heads-up'.

YW, Sir. Note that the .reg file approach that I recommended is AFAIK
totally safe to use, and resets a number of Winsock related values that
aren't handled by LSPfix, et. al. I'm not aware of anyone have problems
using the .reg files appropriate to their OS, and I've see them clear up
several "funny" access issues of the type you're experiencing other than
complete loss of connectivity (including a couple on my own Win2kSP4 system,
BTW), but of course the choice is yours. Please post back if I can be of
further assistance.
