- WSOCK32 does not work at all

  1. 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 on
     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

  or

  2. 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 wrong
     files are getting loaded through your PATH environment.

           C:\>dir \WSOCK32.DLL /s
        and
           C:\>dir \WSA32SRV.DLL /s

     will show you all.
     There should not be any copies except those in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM




- WS_FTP32/95 does not work with CompuServe`s 16bit WINSOCK

    Activate in WS_FTP:
           Options / Session Options / Use PASV Transfer Mode

    and it will work.




- I get an error message telling me, ordinal #### cannot be loaded

    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.




- I get an error message telling me, ICMP.DLL cannot be loaded

    I don't know exactly at the moment what it is, but it is no
    fault in WSOCK32.DLL as it also gets not loaded.
    Some kind of information is searched in WSOCK32.DLL which
    was not found by the programm (e.g. MS PING).




To registered users only:
=========================
- You have sent me the shareware version instead of the registered version

    Probably you have several copies of WSA32SRV.DLL on your disk and the
    one from the shareware package is loaded through your PATH environment.

      C:\>dir \WSA32SRV.DLL /s

    will show you those files.
    There should not be any copy except the one in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
