> Thanks for the advice, I have tried reinstalling the whole >network setup, including all protocols and adapters, still didn't work! :) I am at a loss, I have been considering just reinstalling the whole thing, but I REALLY don't want to do that for one little problem! :) Thanks anyways, TTYL > When you do the reinstalls, do you "back out" things like winsock2? When you reinstall do you "keep" any files that are newer, or do you overwrite them? I in THIS type of situation, I would overwrite. Sometimes doing stuff like this will go back and remove some of the original "system" patches you "should" have installed a long time ago... Did you check the "update information tool" lately? (Win95 only). Do you know some of the earlier patchs would overwrite things in a "stupid" way, and therefore MUST be installed in a certain order? I have never had to format, (knock on wood), but I have had to "go back" and start patching/reinstalling at a VERY basic level... Which Win95 version do you have, and what "basic" level is it? I am referring to the seven different "flavors" of the Win95 program in RELEASED version "types" only. Example: This computer is: Win95B(2.1 less USB) Do you have a FULL version, or was it an upgrade? See my question that relates to this. "Win95 full version, reinstall?"
