I have a client who gets a socket error 11004 about every 30 secs his pc is running. Checked processes running and there are two explorers running. I end task on one the the errors stop. Same thing happens every reboot and I have to do the same thing everytime to get them to stop. I have checked startup, reg settings, and everything else I can think of.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!

That error usually is related to name services. Is this pc on a network? Do they have a full-time internet connection? What OS? Are there any other apps running?

Start by checking their network connections (LAN/dsl/cable/dial-up) and verifying their dns settings. Also check to see if there are any apps or processes running that are trying to connect to the internet in any way.
