Hi
First check for viruses. A virus corrupting the Win Socket would be the most
likely cause.
Can you use IP at all? I.e.  can you PING the loop back address
successfully?

Subject: [PCBUILD] Cable Modem and Internet Access problems...

Hello All,


My customer has a problem gaining access to the internet through their
cable modem.  I've already talked to the cable company and they have
confirmed the hardware and everything on their end is fine.  This system
is running Win98 second edition with 128mb or ram.  I've tried running
winipcfg from the run dialogue box and received "The Initialization of
Winsock Failed" error.  I've also tried reinstalling IP protocol without
success.  I would appreciate in any assistance on this issue.
Thank you.

(P.S. Internet access was working fine through I.E. up until last week.)
