Fixing Winsock2
You will know that Winsock2 is damaged while releasing and renewing the IP address through IPCONFIG when you get a message saying that an error occurred during the renewal of the interface ‘Internet’ and that the operation was forced on something which is not a socket. What you should do is run the Regedit command and the registry keys Winsock and Winsock2 should be deleted under the directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services. You need to download a specific reg file to do this. You are required to reboot your computer and after doing so, you should go to Network Connections. Right click on Properties and the click the button Install. Proceed to selecting Protocol and then clicking on the Add and Have Disk buttons. Go to the directory \Windows\inf and click on the Open and OK buttons. You should highlight Internet Protocol and click on OK. One last step is rebooting your computer and you are done.
