Hi,
I went from my computer from Win 98se (dutch) with modem to Win 98se
with router to Win XP with router, all with different software
firewalls. One time or the other I lost my connection to internet and
I had to format and reinstall everything. Even Win XP 3 times in 3
weeks.
With ipconfig and release/all I get a winsock error. Has this to do
with DHCP? Does anybody now what to do about this error?
Even bought a new ethernet card; didn't help.
Getting tired of everything I decided to rely on my hardware firewall
+ XP firewall for inbound protection; I hope to keep my internet
connection this way.
Does somebody has suggestions for outbound protection?
I don't want a software firewall.
Bob
