Winsock is a Windows network programming interface that Winsock works on the application layer, which provides high-level data transfer programming interfaces independent of the underlying transport protocol Netsh winsock reset is to restore it to the default state
Introduction:The netsh winsock reset command, which functions to reset the Winsock directory. If there is a problem with the Winsock protocol configuration on a machine that will cause problems such as network connectivity, you will need to reset the Winsock directory with the Netsh winsock reset command to restore the network.

Netsh is an interface capable of operating almost all network-related settings via the command line, such as setting up Ip,dns, network cards, wireless networks, etc., Winsock is the internal directory of the system, Winsock is the Windows network programming interface, and Winsock works in the application layer, It provides a high-level data transfer programming interface independent of the underlying transport protocol, and reset is the reset operation to Winsock. The IP needs to be reconfigured when the command to perform Winsock restarts the computer.

to edit the manual steps for the user to determine if the Winsock2 item is damagedTo determine whether the above symptoms are caused by a problem with the Winsock2 item, use one of the following methods.
Method 1: Use the Netdiag tool
To use the Netdiag tool, you must have the Microsoft Windows XP support tool installed. To do this, follow these steps.
Note: 1. If you have installed the support tool, go to the second procedure in this section.
2. If you do not have the Support tools installed and you do not have a Windows XP installation CD, go to Method 2.
1. Insert the Windows XP installation CD, and then locate the Support\Tools folder.
2. Double-click the "Setup.exe" file.
3. Follow the onscreen steps until you see the Select Installation Type screen.
4. On the Please select the Installation Type screen, click Full, and then click Next.
After you complete the installation, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type Command, and then click OK.
2. Type Netdiag/test:winsock, and then press Enter.
The Netdiag tool returns test results for several network components, including Winsock. For more information about testing, add/v:netdiag/test:winsock/v at the end of the Netdiag command
Note: The netdiag command line is provided to Windows XP users to determine if the Winsock2 item is corrupted and requires a Windows XP Setup disk to install.
Method 2: Use the MSINFO32 program
Note You should use this method only if you do not have a Windows XP installation CD and you do not have the Support tools installed.
1. Click Start, click Run, type Msinfo32.exe, and then click OK.
2. Expand Components and Network, and then click Protocols.
3.10 sections will be displayed under "agreement". If the Winsock2 item is not corrupted, the following names will be included in the section header:
MSAFD TCPIP [TCP/IP]
MSAFD Tcpip [UDP/IP]
RSVP UDP Service Provider
RSVP TCP Service Provider
MSAFD NetBIOS [\device\netbt_tcpip ...
MSAFD NetBIOS [\device\netbt_tcpip ...
MSAFD NetBIOS [\device\netbt_tcpip ...
MSAFD NetBIOS [\device\netbt_tcpip ...
MSAFD NetBIOS [\device\netbt_tcpip ...
MSAFD NetBIOS [\device\netbt_tcpip ...
If the name that is displayed differs from the name in this list, the Winsock2 item is corrupted or a third-party add-in (such as Agent software) is installed. If Msinfo32.exe cannot get system information, it may be because the following three services are not started:? Event Log? Windows Management instrumentation? Remote Procedure Call (RPC) if a third-party add-in is installed, the name of the add-in replaces the letter "MSAFD" in the list.
If there are more than 10 sections in the list, then third-party add-ons are installed.
If less than 10, the information is missing.
Note: These entries indicate that only the TCP/IP protocol is installed in the Windows XP installation. In the event that Winsock is running normally, additional entries can be seen if additional protocols are installed. For example, if you have NWLink ipx/spx installed, you will see 7 additional sections, so that the total number of sections reaches 17.

Winsock various repair methods1, "Malware Cleanup assistant" with the WinSockFix.exe program to repair TCP/IP, and
There are pictures and text descriptions in the Help file.
2, XP system reinstall TCP/IP protocol.
3, for XP SP2 users, generally with the netsh winsock reset command can, but sometimes invalid.
For users who are not SP2, you can view winsockxpfix instructions.
4, repair Winsock can use Super Rabbit clean up the king to clean up the rogue software, or use HijackThis, and then use
