Thanks for the info. I just tried it and it WORKS!!!!!!!! All those other people ( "experts" ) tried to tell me everything from buying a new PCI card to stripping my computer and reloading it. I can't say thanks enough. I really appreciate this because I never intended my laptop to be the main online computer because of all the photography work I do on it. Thanks again Steve.
If you can't get online, you can't get to this forum to read messages - duh! Thus, you must have a computer onto which you can download the file, copy to removable media, carry it to the broken computer, copy it onto the hard drive of that computer, and run it from there.

When you have paid a lot of money for a new computer and something is wrong with it for several days you may tend to lose your common sense as I did. Thank you for your help.
Alright, then start your own thread with a new topic (note that this thread has solved the problem of the original poster and you just jumped in and asked how to get winsockfix downloaded to your computer). Please describe the problem you having in detail, explain how you connect to the internet (cable/dsl/dialup/ through a router/ wired or wireless, etc.), which model computer, which model network adapters, and exactly what happens when you try to connect.
