9-5. Troubleshooting Windows Sockets Corruption
Problem
You want to troubleshoot and repair Windows Sockets (Winsock) corruption on a Windows
Server 2003 computer.
Solution
The following command will determine if there is Winsock corruption on a Windows Server 2003
computer:
> netdiag /test:winsock /v
The following command will reset the Winsock catalog on a Windows Server 2003 computer:
> netsh winsock reset
■
Note
After resetting Winsock, you will need to reboot the local computer. This
netsh
option is new with
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.
How It Works
The combination of an IP address and a TCP or UDP port number is referred to as a
socket

the Windows implementation of TCP/IP, the software driver that manages connections between
sockets is referred to as
Winsock
(or
Winsock2
for the latest version of the driver.)
When troubleshooting TCP/IP connections on a Windows computer, you may encounter
unusual errors when using various programs and utilities that may indicate corruption of the
Winsock driver. For instance, you may receive one of the following error messages when
attempting to renew a DHCP lease using the
ipconfig /renew
command:
