Have you checked the Windows Firewall settings? Try disabling the firewall and re-try joining the domain???
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2010 2:24 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: socket error when trying to join domain XP sp3 computer. It's brand new, just got it in. When I attempt to join the domain, I get the following error: "An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket." (error code 0x00002736 WSAENOTSOCK) Googling the error, the only thing I could find was an MS kb to replace Winsock and Winsock2. I got those keys from another XP pc and merged them in. Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem. Since I had joined a server to the network that same day, I don't believe this is an issue where it can't contact a DC. I've put >500 pc's on our network and never had this error before. I'm starting to think a wipe and reinstall may be the only solution.
