LSP-Fix, WinsockFix, and WinsockXPFIx are simply 3 different LSP / Winsock
repair tools. They only repair the problems that they can find. Each program,
along with the XP SP2 "netsh winsock reset catalog", appears to work at times
when one or more of the other 3 won't.

LSP / Winsock corruption seems to be such an amorphous condition that we haven't
really gotten a handle on it, but experiences like yours help us get a handle on
identifying when it's necessary.

If you have no problem now, then just enjoy the fact that you resolved the
problem that you did have. And be thankful for the creators of WinsockFix.
