My communication program for connection to my office has been updated from a 16bit version to 32 bit. Now the 32bit version doesn't work, but the old 16bit version still does work.
The error coming up says:
Communication error.
The network is not ready.
Current state: Getting socket.
No connection is made, and so I have to shut down the program.
If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please help.
My old version still connects to the office at the moment, but will be prevented from doing so at the end of the month.
I've tried uninstalling the old prog first before installing the new one, disabling virus scanners and firewalls, etc.
I installed the prog onto a floppy and took it to the local internet cafe (using W2000 OS's) and it ran perfectly.
I searched MS Knowledge Base, and found something that MAY be related. It says that the OS file TCPIP.SYS should be:
Date 6.4.02 Size 313168 Version 5.02.2195.5542
My Version is 5.02.2195.5267 and Size 329456. Obviously mine is older.
To update the file I have to install SP2. Unfortunately I have already installed SP3, and I think I probably installed SP2 anyway.
I cannot run the SP2 insatll now because it knows a later update has already been carried out.
Does anyone know where I can get this file from, and can I just overwrite my version with it. I can't get it out of the EXE file for SP2 or SP3.
This may not be the answer to my problem, but I'm trying anything I can think of at this stage. Thanks.
