Desperate for immediate help with Win95 IP stack

Sam,

The 100xx errors returned by WinSock are generally the Berkeley errno
values with 10000 added to them. This one has no Berkeley equivalent. The
information I have on it is:

The WinSock implementation cannot function at this time because the
underlaying system it uses to provide network services is currently
unavailable.

o Check that WINSOCK.DLL is in the current path.

o Check that WINSOCK.DLL is from the same vendor as the underlaying
protocol stack.

o Check that all WinSock components are installed and configured.

Not much I know but maybe it will be of some help.

Regards,
Bob
