Chuck,

Further to my earlier response, I don't know if this info will help......

I downloaded and ran winsockfix with the following effect.

On downstairs host PC the systray icon for "PC to LAN HUB" changed to
"limited or no connectivity" - I'd previously set this up with static address
(192.168.0.1) to enable LAN connectivity to internet for upstairs PC's. On
reboot icon still indicated "limited or no connectivity"
