Reinstall Winsock Win98

[KeyTech]

Hey,

Im getting an error in a few apps (email, internet access) that are running on Win98. The problem seems to be with TCP/IP or Winsock, I know they are related but not sure how.....
If I try and send mail from this PC with an account thats on the server, I get an error saying error sending mail due to a TCP/IP problem. Before all this, I couldn't even enter the ping command without getting an error, saying it was missing wsock.dll which was renamed by the Sircam Virus I presume (which was cleaned off). So I uninstalled TCP/IP and networking completely and it restored the files, and now I can ping, but I get an error saying "Error Code 10091" which on the MS website says its got to do with the winsock 2 update, but thats only applicable for win95 right????? How can I reinstall winsock for win98, I think if I can do this it will solve the problem.....??? Jay~

Hello, KeyTech.

I take it that you have replaced the winsock.dll already. Then, I would suggest you may as well replace the wsock32.dll from the win98 installation package. It should be in precopy1.cab.

Thanks Tsuji, I replaced winsock.dll already, and with wsock32.dll (and co.!!) I couldnt manually replace them because I couldnt find them on the win98 CD!! So what I did was removed the wsock files first, then uninstall networking, and reinstalled it, which replaced the files, but still no joy...... I will have a look in the precopy1.cab file when Im next out there and try copy them in from there.
Thanks for your input and I'll let you know how it goes. Jay~
