Hello,

Got my new ADLS line and the fine new XP laptop works OK.

The old but still useful desktop machine (ME) will not communicate
usefully over the inteternet

Works:-
 Ping to default Gateway
 ping to www.google.com  - name resolution OK.

Does not work:-
 Telnet to default Gateway (works from new PC though)
 Internet Explorer to google.

I have run the following
"Click Run, and then enter the command line
hcp://system/netdiag/logs.htm"
as suggested by:-
https://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/WinME/maintain/netcomp.mspx?mfr=true

It says that it can't ping the loopback or the default gateway
and reports the error
"WSASocket() failed 10106"

I have removed and re-installed

  IE6SP?
  ALL networking components

I do not now though have any lines in the network list
of the form

TCP  ->  Network device.
I have my NIC and a TCP line seperately.

THe TCP -> NIC line was there before I removed the
NIC and re-ibnstalled it.

In all cases I made one change at a time and rebooted.

HELP!
