Ok. The results are in. I removed modems(It multiplies them), the dial
up adapter & the nic in the Control Panel/system/device manager; In
Wondoze setup I got rid of communications, & networking. I got
winsock.dll from another windoze 98 pc which can reach the outside
world. When I rebooted, and shoved them back in, the problem is
EXACTLY the same. The output of 'route print' looks good - I see all
the sort of crap I would expect to see from a working installation. The
output of netstat -a is odd. I get my interfaces OK but the gateways are
0.0.0.0 beside the tcp/ip entries and *.* beside UDP entries.
Ping 127.0.0.1 still gives me
Unable to Initialise Windows Socket Interface - Error 0
Thanks for the thoughts anyhow.
/goes off muttering to google for windoze Error codes
