everything was fine until i installed SvcPk 2 for my WinXP Pro and then uninstalled it.

after the uninstallation of Service Pack 2, upon rebooting my system, it prompted the error message - "ListenOnPort(),socket() failed"

i have try with another NIC no result, created another user profile also the same.
reinstall back the Svc Pk 2 also doesn't help.

before i did the Svc Pk2 reinstallation, i try tp restore the system to a previous date, the operation was not able to be completed. try a few other dates also reports the same results.
