I am unable to ping anywhere, even my own NIC (127.0.0.1).
One solution for this seems to be the Winsock2 entry in the registry is
missing or corrupt. The solution (Kb 246727) is to delete the key, remove
Dial-up networking and then add Dial-up networking again. However, I do not
have Dial-up networking installed.
As noted in that article, it only applies to computers that have
Internet Explorer 4 or 5. It doesn't apply to Windows XP, which has
Internet Explorer 6 or 7 and doesn't have an installable component
called Dial-Up Networking.
Does anyone know of another solution please?
Thanks
Open a command prompt window (Start > Run > cmd), enter this command,
and reboot:
netsh winsock reset catalog
If that doesn't solve the problem, download WinSock XP Fix on another
computer, copy it to your computer, and run it:
