i've run the file checker program (sfc) at the suggestion of someone on this
board, and unfortunatley this has not resolved my issue. I have one hard
wired computer and a laptop accessing my cable modem through a Linksys
wireless router. My hard wired computer was overcome with spyware recently
and since then cannot access my router. It has since been throughly cleaned,
but when I try to access my router and cable modem either via browser or
pinging, I get the message "unable to initialize, windows socket failure,
error code 0". My laptop via my wireless adapter connects to my router and
cable modem fine. I'm desperate for suggestions... anyone?

How to determine and recover from Winsock2 corruption
<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;811259&Product=winxp>

Be advised that resetting winsock and the tcp/ip stack as instructed in
this article may break certain networking software (like Novell Client
and Cisco VPN). If that happens, then reinstalling the networking
software should fix things right up.
