Fixing Windows connection
Yesterday I found a computer that can’t connect to outside world though ping sucessful and no firewall activated.
I found this error message when triing to telnet via DOS prompt:
The requested service provider could not be loaded or initialized.
This is what I did to fix it:
1) Remove winsock and winsock2 from registry editor.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock22) Restart PC.
3) Go to Network connections and Right click their connection. Choose Properties.
4). Click Install.
5). Click Protocol, then click Add.
6) Click Have Disk. Type C:\Windows\inf.
7). On the list available choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click OK.
That’s it. After that the computer can happily browse Internet again. 
remove winsock???
bayu,when you re-install TCP/IP in the network adapter, does winsock will back to regedit or not?

Hehehe.. I spent like three hours on this.
It’s not about me, though. I feel sorry for my friends who have to reinstall all the computers they maintain if this kind of problem is not fix. Hopefully by this it can reduce their burdens.
