Desperate for immediate help with Win95 IP stack - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

22 Jun 1999

Sam,

The 100xx errors returned by WinSock are generally the Berkeley errno 
values with 10000 added to them.  This one has no Berkeley equivalent.  The 
information I have on it is:

The WinSock implementation cannot function at this time because the 
underlaying system it uses to provide network services is currently 
unavailable.

o  Check that WINSOCK.DLL is in the current path.

o  Check that WINSOCK.DLL is from the same vendor as the underlaying 
protocol stack.

o  Check that all WinSock components are installed and configured.

Not much I know but maybe it will be of some help.

Regards,
Bob

 My IP stack is hosed on my Win95 machine.  When I try to ping any host I
 get "Transmit failed, error code 10091".  If I try to run WINIPCFG I get
 "Fatal error: cannot read IP configuration".

 Since MS is fucked and doesn't have any sort of technical documentation
 anywhere useful that would list these errors I must now try to go
 searching for what this bullshit means.  Unless you already have the
 answer?

 This started to happen after I had to re-install windows over the  existing

  install, because it all of a sudden started coming up
with a "Windows
 exception" during boot and would not boot any further.

 TIA.
