winsock startup failed

[Garik]

Does anybody have good and simple recipe to overcome this problem: Winsock
startup failed? I have Windows XP home sp3.
Network diagnostic add the following:
warn Error 12159 determining offline status of IE: The TCP/IP protocol iss
not installed properly.
error Error in initial InternetOpen call: 12159
Everything was OK since today's morning. Then I have a long brake and after
it I found out that my home network and Internet does not work on this
computer. Out of the blue.

In Windows XP, a reset command is available in the IP context of the
NetShell utility. Follow these steps to use the reset command to reset
TCP/IP manually:
To open a command prompt, click Start and then click Run.

Copy and paste (or type) the following command in the Open box and then
press ENTER: cmd

At the command prompt, copy and paste (or type) the following command and
then press ENTER: netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

Note If you do not want to specify a directory path for the log file, use
the following command: netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

Thanks for your answer!
And this is the answer I've got
Initialization Function InitHelperDll in IPMONTR.DLL failed to start with
error code 11003.
So nothing changed, sorry!
Another advice, please!

Then:
Sucessfully reset the Winsock Catalog.

After restart of computer I got the same: Winsock startup failed.
Have another idea? I will appreciate it.
