Pinging “oy” ???

Where the “oy” have weird little French double dot things on the top of them. You can still ping by IP address but DNS and a whole lot of other stuff is poked. you know?? Even a repair install didn’t fix this!!!

Because of this case i can’t connect to internet for few days… 😦

But…this day i found way out for it…. 🙂

you just need short command in DOS

netsh winsock reset

and then reboot your computer.

Fixed it up a treat. Apparently viruses and the removal of program’s like Norton’s and CA Anti virus can cause corruption in the winsock components of XP and the result is busted networking. Running this command will reset the whole winsock subsystem.

Another handy one that has helped me out in a few situations like this is

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

Do it from a command line and have a look at the log, it does lots of cool stuff that can fix a huge amount of problems with windows networking.
