Re: winsock error 10060

hi,
thanks for your reply. A slight error occured on my part. This problem which
i mentioned i am facing only for outlook express and similar mail related
s/w like mail box dispatcher,Outlook,. I am able to browse etc normally.Only
unable to send and receive emails.
I tried the below steps and the problem is still persisting. That winsock
utility also did not help.
The qs of spyware and adware is not there as mine is a fresh formatted pc
and also antivirus & antispyware was installed.
And u had mentioned
Then under Security Option:
[&] Security
[ ] Use SSL 2.0
[ ] Use SSL 3.0
[ ] Use STL 1.0

and click Apply then [OK] to close the IE properties
What should i do this. Chek or unchek. By default the ssl 2&3 were cheked.


regards

hi all,
I am receving a [ -ERR Connection timed out [winsock error#10060] from
today. I doubt whether an avg antivirus update process is responsible for
the same. Nevertheless so far i have tried the following
1. referred to the MS help on the same
How to determine and to recover from Winsock2 corruption in Windows
Server 2003, in Windows XP, and in Windows Vista

2. tried the Guided Help application of MS.

3.Uninstalled avg.

4.Used a tool named winsockxpfix

5.Reinstalled windows xp upgrade option


Despite all this things are still the same..

Now only thing left is again installing windows xp.

MY OS is windows xp sp2



Pls suggest any way to avoid a fresh install again and solve this
problem. did lots of google but no solution found so far.

upgrade the firmware for the Router/Modem from the manufacturer website or
try to repair the Browser it may be broken or you have some malware or
other
third-party add-ons hooking up on your beowser and causing the timing out!
Here are some info read it and appply it and see if the issue will be
resolved.
