Hellow, my name is Alberto and I work as a PC analist for a big company and I came up with a winsock error wich I know it has to do with TCP/IP but I can't get on the Internet explorer, or ping outside the network and let me remind you that I could see the internal server. when I do binding on the network propertis it comes back with a "The Winsock 1.1 to 2.0 migration failed"[0x277b]. I have service pack 6a and have uninstalled adapter drivers but, nothing seems to work.

I now that lately there has been a virus going around effecting the winsock files. So first thing i would do is scan for viruses. If it comes out clean remove all the network components: services, protocols and adapters reboot and reload the driver and install the SP6 again. If also this doesnt seem to help delete or rename the winsock files and manually extract them from the CD.
hope this helps
