Whats one of them then, and should I be worried that Ive just used Windows diagnostics to change it back to the default setting??
I was having intermittant problems getting on line so I used the WD test as everything else seemed ok (wiring, box etc) and I got a msg saying it had detected something about the winsock setting, so it advised me to go back to default. I dont know what the eck it meant so have no idea how it was changed!
Anybody any ideas?
I’m to lazy to explain, so here is some i copied lol.
– Winsock is a programming interface and the supporting program that handles input/output requests for Internet applications in a Windows operating system. It’s called Winsock because it’s an adaptation for Windows of the Berkeley Unix sockets interface. sockets is a particular convention for connecting with and exchanging data between two program processes within the same computer or across a network.
Winsock runs between an application program such as a Netscape browser and the Internet program in your computer that uses TCP/IP. A request flows in the following order:Web browser or other application
|
winsock.dll
|
TCP/IP layers
|
Modem or network card
