Why Repair/Reset Winsock settings?

Most of the Internet connectivity problems arise out of corrupt Winsock settings. Windows sockets settings may get corrupted due to the installation of a networking software, or perhaps due to Malware infestation. You will be able connect to the Internet, but the packets won't transfer back and forth. And errors such as Page cannot be displayed may occur when using Internet Explorer. This article lists the methods (with links to third-party websites) to reset/repair the Winsock configuration to defaults.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 - New Winsock NETSH commands
These Two new Netsh commands are available in Windows XP Service Pack 2.

1.    netsh winsock reset catalog.
This command resets the Winsock catalog to the default configuration. This can be useful if a malformed LSP is installed that results in loss of network connectivity. While use of this command can restore network connectivity, it should be used with care because any previously-installed LSPs will need to be re-installed. The output results to this in Command Prompt (CMD.EXE) “netsh winsock reset”

2.    netsh winsock show catalog.
This command displays the list of Winsock LSPs that are installed on the computer. The output results to a file type this in Command Prompt (CMD.EXE) “netsh winsock show catalog >D:\Winsock.txt”

There are also some Tools available to reset.

WinSock XP Fix offers a last resort if your Internet connectivity has been corrupted due to invalid or removed registry entries. It can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of Adware components or improper uninstall of firewall applications or other tools that modify the XP network and Winsock settings. If you encounter connection problems after removing network related software, Adware or after registry clean-up; and all other ways fail, then give WinSock XP Fix a try. It can create a registry backup of your current settings, so it is fairly safe to use. We actually tested it on a test machine that was having a Winsock problem due to some Adware removal, and after running the utility and rebooting, the connectivity was restored.

Pros: May save you hours of headaches; can fix tricky connection problems
Cons: Not actively supported or developed
Type: Freeware.
OS: Win XP
