Title: problem with reset winsock catalog
Post by: jlittle on January 02, 2008, 09:32:22 PM
Ok guys hopefully someone can help me with this. My new laptop found my network and others connected to it but, it had limited connectivity so I couldn't get on the internet. Someone told me that there was a problem with the winsock. So they had me type "netsh reset winsock catalog" now I cannot see any of the wireless networks anywhere and I cannot get back on my network. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this problem. I was online with D-link for 3 hrs and 4 techs trying to fix it and no one could help. Anyone have a fix for this

"netsh reset winsock catalog"  is good if you want to reset to default, but not if you have legit entries that use it

Can you do a System Restore point to before the trouble?
