Help - win98 internet trouble!!

[Hypo]

I just changed motherboard,CPU,cabinet on my comp leaving the cards and harddisks the same. After instaslling the drivers for all hardware, windows was running ok, everything functioning, but I cant browse the net.

I have internet access thru a LAN card and also thru dialup on an internal modem. The Lan card shows me the other users on network neighbourhood but when I try to browse the net I get a 'would you like to connect message'. Earlier I just had to open my browser and it would start browsing using the internet on lan. There was no configuration involved as I had done a fresh win install recently and it had functioned without problems.

WHen I dial up using my modem it connect s to the ISP and the connected icon appears on the system tray, but I still cant browse any site, it keeps trying to 'find the site'. I've tested Netscape, Opera, telnet, ftp, outlook express, nothing works . IE5.5 sometimes crashes when I'm trying to browse.

I did a reinstall of windows over trhe old one and the problem persists. I tried deleting and reinstalling IE5.5, same problem persists. I have checked for TCPIP protocol installed on my system and its there.

Any idea what might be the problem? I'm really desparate here, typing from another comp. I need internet fast as I'm losing money eevryday. Any help really appreciated!

use start/run/winipcfg to see if you get an ip from the lan

Yes, I'm getting my assigned ip. What next?

try reinstalling winsock???

Here's some info on the Microsoft site, I dont understand it at all -

Error Message:
WINSOCK Error: Address family not supported by protocol family.

Explanation:
An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used. For example, you might not be able to use NS addresses with ARPA Internet protocols. This error occurs with the socket() function, which takes the socket type (protocol) and address family as input parameters. It also occurs with functions that take a socket handle and a sockaddr structure as input parameters. A socket already has a type (a protocol), and each sockaddr structure has an address family field to define its format. A function fails with WSAEAFNOSUPPORT if the address family referenced in sockaddr is not compatible with the referenced socket's protocol.

User Action:
Developer suggestions: Since there is only one corresponding protocol for each of the datagram and datastream socket types in the Internet address family, leave the value in the protocol input parameter as socket(). Alternatively, you could call getprotobyname() or WSAAsyncGetProtoByName() to get the appropriate protocol value from the network system.

bitz, that might work. Let me first find out how to reinstall winsock.

I just reinstalled wsock32.dll using the system file checker in windows 98. Problem still persists.
