Internet. How to Fix Winsock 02
There are a few things that Benson can do to figure out his connectivity problems. After searching windows help and using Google I came up with some steps for him to follow in order to solve the problem. Starting with information through Windows Help, the first thing that Benson needs to do is check his network connections by opening up Network diagnostics. He will then check to make sure all cables are connected properly. Since he is trying to connect to another computer he will need to have file and printer sharing enabled on his computer. If his problem began after he installed new software then he will need to check his connection settings to see if anything has changed. To check network discovery he will need to make sure that network discovery is turned on. Again, since he is trying to connect to other pc, he needs to make sure sharing is enabled. There needs to be at least one shared folder. Once this is completed he will need to make sure that all the computers he is trying to connect to be in the same workgroup.
Benson should then go online to the manufacturer website to download and install any latest firmware that is available for his router; he can also download and install any latest versions of the network adapter driver. He needs to make sure that the router is on as well as the modem. If he is using a laptop with wireless instead, and not a pc, then he needs to make sure that the wireless switch is turned on as well. It is sometimes located on the front, side or back of the laptop. If no wireless connection is detected then he needs to use the help on his computer to troubleshoot problems finding a wireless network.
From the book it looks like he is using an Ethernet cable connection so he will need to check those cables as well and make sure it is hooked up properly. He should also try a new Ethernet cable to make sure the first one is not defective. If this is not an issue he will need to follow the steps through Windows Help to find his

    The General approach of the process of troubleshooting TCP/IP connectivity issues with the assumption that you will have access to the client and may not have access to the server. If the problem is determined to be a server issue, you contact the server administrator. If you are the server administrator you can apply the troubleshooting process in reverse server to client to further troubleshoot connectivity issues. To efficiently troubleshoot a TCP/IP connectivity problem it is necessary to identify a single pair of source and destination devices that are exhibiting the connectivity problem. When you've selected the two devices test to make sure that the problem is actually occurring between these two devices. Possible problems include these. Physical layer issue somewhere along the path. First hop Layer 3 connectivity issue local LAN segment. Layer 3 IP connectivity issue somewhere along the packet's path. According to the cisco site, below are some starting points they suggest. Try to ping from the source to destination device by IP address. If the ping fails verify that you are using the correct address and try the ping again. If the ping still fails go to the next section Troubleshooting Local Connectivity Problems proceed to Step. Try to ping from the source to the destination device by name. If the ping fails verify that the name is correctly spelled and that it refers to the destination device and then try the ping again. If the ping still fails go to the section Troubleshooting Domain Name Server Problems. If you can ping the destination by both name and address it appears that the problem is an upper layer problem.…

    Check the workstations using ipconfig /all and find out if the ip range is within the address range you assigned, if it is a different address then the workstation failed to contact the DHCP server and has gone into apipa mode. The Network Interface Card might be assigned an incorrect driver. Another possible cause of the problem is that the patch cable is not plugged into the Network Interface Card, or is not connected to a switch on the other end. However, it could be that the server has run out of IP addresses that it can assign to clients. You can easily tell if this is the problem by comparing the size of the DHCP address scope to the number of devices on your network that request IP addresses from the DHCP server. But since only some of the workstations have got addresses the problem might be the DHCP server. Start off by doing some ping tests to verify that the DHCP server is able to communicate across the network. If the DHCP server is able to communicate with other computers on the network, then I recommend verifying that the DHCP server has an IP address that is compatible with the scope that the server is configured to assign addresses from. The server itself has to be assigned a static address in the same subnet range, such as 192.168.0.199. If this still doesn’t solve the problem make sure that the DHCP server is still authorized by the Active Directory to lease IP addresses. You should also check to verify that the scope is active, and that the necessary services are running on the DHCP server.…
