It appears that some individuals that have installed the beta of MS =

1. Rebuild the Winsock LSP chain. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Log on to the Microsoft Windows XP workstation as an =

b. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
c. At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:
netsh Winsock reset
When the program is finished, you will receive the following =
