To say nothing of a memory.

Thanks. Perhaps you are suggesting that I approach this by understanding
networking from the ground up and that I surely must be able to do that,
despite my initial disclaimer. I assume this is because you can. That
has been my experience with network savvy people.

Once upon a time I was able to write assembler, even machine language.
I'd guess you would call that pretty much "ground up" computing. That was
in the '80's. But since I had a stroke I haven't been able to remember
enough to find my way from the top of a page to the bottom, much less the
multiple bits and pieces in between (multi-tasking).

That leaves me explaining myself (which I thought I had already done
adequately) begging for some sort of setp by step hand holding from people
who, as a rule, would apparently rather drive nails in the bottoms of
their feet. It may be that the only way to get networking again is a
total wipe of my hard drive and a year or so of attempting to reinstall.
Hardly worth it.

Thanks again.

Jim,

Networking doesn't require multitasking. Diagnosing an LSP / Winsock / TCP/IP
corruption problem doesn't even require networking skills, just the ability to
read and to follow instructions. Or maybe to print out a list, then follow
through the list, one step at a time, and mark what's been done.

It will require determination, aka patience and persistence, though.

If you do have such a problem, ignoring it and playing with something easier
won't solve it. Either you, or a more focused person, has to fix the problem.

Let us know what you decide to do. We'll be here, when you do.
