I work for a non-profit and I for the most part end up doing double duty as a computer trouble shooter and I have a problem that has me clueless. We had a virus last week here and since we are running Windows 95, our virus protection was outdated (mcafee virus scan 95) to the point that I couldn't update the DAT file cuz it was no longer compatible with the program. So, we got a newer version, and in the process of installing, it notified me that I needed to download Winsock 2. Everything was fine and dandy last week until today. Now, 2 of the 3 computers that the new software was installed on don't have functioning email (using Outlook Express) and the error message that pops up mentions something that the server is not available and says something about a Socket error. Does this mean that winsock 2 is part of this problem? No other settings have been manually changed on the computers and our server runs NT with service pack 4 if that helps out. Any thoughts?
