Re: Winsock Error

[eric.delong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     If I had to guess, one of your standard applications is installing 
     an older or 3rd party version of wsock32.dll. 
     
     My desktop here at work is W95 OSR2 - WSOCK32.DLL is version 
     4.00.1111.
     
     To check this, use find file to locate WSOCK32.DLL, properties, 
     version tab.

Have opened a call with IBM with no resolution. Verified no port problems, 
connection is via dial up through a RAS into the domain. Client PC is able 
to Ping the AS400, but unable to telnet either.
     
Question:        What in the standard PC software could be causing the 
winsock error and only on certain machines?
     
     
Problem:  Could not verify a the initial connection through the AS400 
Connection manager.
     
Server:                  AS400E V4R2
Clients:          Client Access Software, PC5250 Emulation, V3R2M0
Client Hardware:        Various CPUs from P-166 through K6 2/500, 48 Mb RAM 
min.
                Sportster 33.6 and C-Net V.90 modems, standard dial-up
connections,
Standard Client Software:        Win95SR2, Win98, Win98SE, Office97Pro, 
Outlook98SP1, Great Planes Dynamics,                        Pervasive SQL, MS 
Proxy Client  (All are standard, except 5th system).
Dial-Ups        All systems dial an 800-number to a bank of 20 modems 
parallel to the company firewall
     
Sequence of Events:
     
1st System        K6 2/400, 64 Mb, Sportster modem, Win98
                Fully operational, experienced no problems verifying
connections
     
2nd System        K6 2/500, 64 Mb, C-Net modem, Win98SE
                Could not verify connection to AS400, error as follows: 
                Wsock32.dll error returned 10060
     
3rd System        K6 2/350, 64 Mb, Sportster modem, Win98SE
                Could not verify connection to AS400, error as follows: 
                Wsock32.dll error returned 10060
     
4th System        P-233, 64 Mb, C-Net modem, Win95SR2
                Could not verify connection to AS400, error as follows: 
                Wsock32.dll error returned 10060
     
                Upgraded to Win98, system was able to verify the AS400
connection.
                Thinking OS was the problem.
     
2nd System        Formatted hard drive and installed Win98, including standard 
software
                Could not verify connection to AS400, error as follows: 
                Wsock32.dll error returned 10060
     
                Didn't work.
     
5th System        P-166, 48 Mb, Sportster modem, Win95SR2
                Could not verify connection to AS400, error as follows: 
                Wsock32.dll error returned 10060
     
                Upgraded to Win98, standard software still installed. 
                Could not verify connection to AS400, error as follows: 
                Wsock32.dll error returned 10060
     
                Thinking standard software is causing the connection
problem.
     
                Formatted hard drive and installed only Win98 and Client
Access software.
                System able to verify connection.
     
Question:        What in the standard software could be causing the winsock 
error and only on certain
                 machines?
