transmit error 65

[redapples]

I have been getting a transmit error when trying to ping another machine connected peer-to-peer to my computer.
I am running win2k and mcAfee but no fire wall, nor is internet connection sharing enabled.

I also get time out issues through Outlook and telnet will not connect to any mail server I have tried, I get an immediate connection failure return. Internet connection is fine but mail is unavilable.

I have had the advice from my ISP to uninstal all of my network protocols and reinstall them. I have done this but to no effect.

The machine was infected by MSBlast but I have removed this and installed the MS patch.

I would gratefully accept any suggestions before rebuilding the machine in question.

Try rebuilding your Winsock service:

Thanks bcastner, I could not gain access to the link you posted but found your manual instructions on another posting. It seems someone other than myself had installed ZoneAlarm without my knowledge, their P45 is now in the post .(FYI a P45 is given to workers leaving a job in the UK)

Anyway have now resolved the issue thank you.

You sacked a guy for installing ZA?

And my users say I'M an ogre...

Sadly, only a joke the person who installed ZA is a manager. Feel like I'm in a Dilbert Cartoon!!
