Well that computer is a flaming poile of shit. It does not connect to the internet for unknown reasons. It sees the rest of the network but when I go to connect to google.com or anything it just says the webpage could not be found. I do not understand what could be causing all of these problems. I am very tired of that computer I just need it fixed now! Help me.
Edit: I deleated all of the networking things and reinstalled them and some how it worked. It also involved restoring original ws2_32.dll and some other .dll like iphipapil or something.... |

it seems winsock2 goes hand-in-hand with dial up networking and/or IP/IPX. Are those things installed? |

Ok then. I just did a search in google, and I found this. I wouldn't know if the software from the link they give will do anything though, so it's up to you if you want to use it or not. |

* You need Winsock2 to use Trillian. If you receive an error message
about a missing DLL on startup (usually ws2_32.dll), please go here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/ *
Is what I get from the readme file. But that is for windows 95 and will not work on windows 98. I have tried putting the Ws2_32.dll in most of the system directories but it just does not want to work.... |

Either put the file in the folder of the program that needs it, or put it in the Windows/System (or System32 if you're on XP. Maybe for 2000, but I'm not sure) directory. Hopefully one of those works  |

This computer I am on is missing Ws2_32.dll and even when I put the file in the Windows directory it does not work. I don't know what I am doing wrong but it is weird... |
