Re: Windows Error creating a TCP/IP port

Verify that there are no extra versions of winsock files in the windows
directory. They should all be in \windows\system32

I assume you are creating a Standard TCP/IP Port not the HP Standard TCP/IP
Port.

I have been attempting to install an HP printer on my home network. It has
an IP address (which I can access via a brower, so the connection is
fine),
but when I try to install the printer, either using HP installer software,
or
manually using XP add a printer, or even creating a new TCP/IP port for an
existing printer, windows always experiences en error and crashes (not
full
crash). This happens on both my laptop and desktop (both running XP), I
have seen a few posts on other sites saying others have observed this, but
no
solution to the windows problem. Any ideas for why windows has this error
everytime, or how to fix, or even a work around?? Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
