Hello

Welcome to B1

So how is the router connected to the pc? USB?
I supose you already tried these but it is all I can think of:

• Reset the router by holding in the reset button for about 10 seconds
• Delete the connection in the connection settings
• Set up a new connection for it
• Ran the repair option on the connection

Also I think there were some MS-DOS commands that release and renew the ip address but I can't remember what they were now, sorry

Anyway hope this helps
Robin

JUst to help out a little,

the DOS Commands that were referred to are as follows

ipconfig /all
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

hope you get your problem all sorted out! and welcome to B1

ya thanks guys i did reset my router and created a new connection but no luck.....i tried b4 doing that to renew/release the ip address.....since then i have tried sure fix dnlds (lspfix) and resetting TCP/IP on my computer going into the cnd promt and tping: netsh int reset resetlog.txk

hoping it would reset my shell for the winsock.......no luck i think my last hope b4 i throw the mobo out the 16 floor window is too:

export the registry entries from my still running computer to a floppy and export it to the gaming computer that is my last try..............

if this dosnt work i guess im forced to go to the mobo manuf.and see if i can get a trade up deal............................i still wish as u all know i could solve this myself or with u guys.........

but thnaks for the response its nice to no u guys are there to help me out.i will post when finshed my whole log of what happen and what i did to resolve this error msg.......for future ref::

Try the following m8

It has helped me out many times before when I had the same problems like you:

==============================================
WinSock XP Fix offers a last resort if your Internet connectivity has been corrupted due to invalid or removed registry entries. It can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of Adware components or improper uninstall of firewall applications or other tools that modify the XP network and Winsock settings. If you encounter connection problems after removing network related software, Adware or after registry clean-up; and all other ways fail, then give WinSock XP Fix a try. It can create a registry backup of your current settings, so it is fairly safe to use. We actually tested it on a test machine that was having a Winsock problem due to some Adware removal, and after running the utility and rebooting, the connectivity was restored
