    Unhappy Winsock error

    Hi,

    I have a serious problem in using winsock control. I get the following error when winsock.listen is encountered:

    Error: 10047
    Address Family is not supported

    I started getting this error after i updated win98. Would this have caused some problem? How do i rectify it? Kindly help.

    TIA.
    Ravi.

    Hmm, not sure. Check that your network protocols (TCP etc) are all configured properly and bound to the proper adapters.

    Are you on a LAN? Can you ping machines on the network? If youre using names rather than ip's try the ips instead.

    Here is a site that explains socket errors: http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/WSK-19980721-EM01.htm. You might find something there.

    whoa that site had tons of info, you put a period after the url.

    HTTP Error 404
    404 Not Found

    The Web server cannot find the file or script you asked for. Please check the URL to ensure that the path is correct.

    Please contact the server's administrator if this problem persists.

    Sorry about that! I didn't notice that the period was included in the link when I previewed.
