Getting windows socket error using DSL modems. Restored the wsock32.dll file as instructed for a fix. This didn't work. Using Win 95/98. Was referring back to OEM. Is there any other fixes?

search for vip.386 and vtcp.386 on system. rename them to .old

Go to network control panel. remove tcp/ip and re-add it without clicking ok and rebooting inbetween.

It will copy files from the Windows Cabs or Windows CD.

When done it will ask you to reboot. Reboot and see if the problem is still there.

You should write down your TCP/IP settings for the DSL before you try this unless it uses DHCP.

Hope that helps. This should replace your entire tcp/ip protocol stack.

It works for 95/98 and ME
