error: "an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket"

Suddenly, I have no connection to my pc which is connected directly to my d-link cable.  Other computers that use wireless have no problem. My system shows "the network has not assigned a network address of the computer"... then I tried, by messages on this site, to run cmd and ipconfig/renew and ipconfig/release.  After renew, I get an error "an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket".

ideas?

Hi sdams,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. do you have security software installed on the computer?

This error would occur if the Winsock registry keys are damaged or corrupted.

Refer to the article below and reset the Winsock settings to default and see if it helps.
