help fixing tcp/ip & network setting

[Guest_imported]

Hello,
First of all some system info: My desktop system is a home built Athlon on an ASUS motherboard, with WinME.
I'm not sure if my problem is hardware or software, but I'm pretty sure it's software.

When I open up netscape, it now gives me an akward error message saying "can not make network socket connection" - it says this whether I am online or not. IE also just won't work. This leads me to the whole online thing...
When I dial-up, the modem connects, and goes through the normal log-on. Once it says it is connected, it basically dies. It recieves literally 400-500 bytes of info and stops doing anything. It says it is still online, but nothing works.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything dealing with network or tcp/ip. I even took out the ethernet card and modem and put them in different slots. I defraged the hard drive and ran WinDoctor (2002) and let it fix any windows errors it found.

Since netscape and IE are giving me error messages no matter what, I figure the problem is within windows... I just have absolutly no idea how to fix it. I've tried everything I know, and I'm all out of ideas. I would like to fix it without having to format if at all possible.

Go to Control Panel-Modem and look at your modem settings.
Try putting the maximum speed up.

From the device manager, remove your modem drivers and also network card drivers.. everything. and also your dialup connections settings..

Delete away all *.tmp files.

Do a shutdown and reboot..

then it will autodetect..

from there..

try..
