Also Internet Explorer may give the following error message:



The page cannot be displayed Additionally, you may have no IP address or no Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address, and you may be receiving IP packets but not sending them.

Winsock Test Method 1



Run netdiag /test:winsock





The end should say Winsock test ..... passed





Winsock Test Method 2

Click on the + by Components



Click on the by Network
