Q: - WSOCK32 does not work at all A: WIN95 copied the original MS WINSOCK.DLL from the system backup folder to \WINDOWS or MS WSOCK32.DLL to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM. Check the sizes of both files, make sure you have the right DLLs at these locations and set them to read-only file attributes. e.g. C:\>attrib +r \WINDOWS\WINSOCK.DLL C:\>attrib +r \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WSOCK32.DLL Q: - I get the following error message from WSOCK32.DLL: "Could not attach WSA32SRV.DLL V4.XX.XX" A: The version of WSOCK32 has to match exactly the version of WSA32SRV.DLL. Probably you have several copies of those files on your disk and a wrong copy of WSA32SRV.DLL is getting loaded through your PATH environment. C:\>dir \WSA32SRV.DLL /s will show you all. There should not be any copy except the one in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM Make sure you have the right versions there. Q: - WS_FTP32/95 does not work with CompuServe`s 16bit WINSOCK A: Activate in WS_FTP: Options / Session Options / Use PASV Transfer Mode and it will work. Q: - I get an error message telling me, ordinal #### cannot be loaded A: Ordinal numbers greater than 151 are not compatible to the Windows Sockets Specification 1.1 and also not implemented in the most 16bit WINSOCKs. As WSOCK32 works as a converter, it can not convert what is not present. If you get these errors using NT I strictly recommend to remove MS/TCP. Q: - I get an error message telling me, ICMP.DLL cannot be loaded A: I don't know exactly what it is, but it is no fault in WSOCK32.DLL as this DLL is not loaded, when this error appears. Some kind of information is searched in WSOCK32.DLL which was not found by the programm (e.g. MS PING). Q: - I don't want to use WSOCK32; How can I remove it? A: Restart your PC in native DOS mode; remove it with the following commands: C:\>cd \WINDOWS\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM>attrib -r WSOCK32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM>del WSOCK32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM>copy WSOCK32.MS WSOCK32.DLL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM>cd .. C:\WINDOWS>attrib -r WINSOCK.DLL C:\WINDOWS>del WINSOCK.DLL C:\WINDOWS>copy WINSOCK.MS WINSOCK.DLL Q: - I get an error message when using the T-Online-Decoder saying, that "32bit support can't be loaded" A: Change the settings in "\DECODER\DATA\USERFSCK.INI to: [Options] Load32=Nein Beende Anwendungen=Nein
