Just thought of this since you mentioned winsock. I know with winXP they had the winsock fix tool. I wonder if there is a variant of that out there for win7 or even if the xp tool works on 7.

LSPFix and all the other old warhorses aren't Win7 compatible. I've seen sites listing Win7 compatible tools for download, but these days I wouldn't download one of them unless I have a divine vision telling me it is OK. Using netsh to clean Winsock should be sufficient; it also deletes current LSPs and may even force a user to reinstall some software after using it.Quote:

I can do a re installation, but if this is a Windows 7 problem it can return?
The problem you describe certainly isn't a "Windows 7" problem per se; it's the kind of issue you can see for many different reasons that certainly aren't limited to one OS.Quote:
