Hej igen...
jeg klipper og klistre lige fra en nyheds gruppen "microsoft.public.win98.internet" -->
---------------------------------------------------------
The solution is pretty easy and is described below, based on another's
post:
===================
BELOW IS A POSSIBLE RESOLUTION TO THE WINSOCK FAILURE PROBLEM. THE
PROCEDURE IS DESCRIBED IN ABBREVIATED FORM AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS
MESSAGE.
The solution was posted on the microsoft.public.win98.performance
newsgroup under the Subject "DUN Win98 - Socket connections error."
Below is a version of the instructions, re-numbered to better reflect
discrete steps. If you need more details on performing the procedure,
let me know. Good luck!

PROBLEM: INSTALLING WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION CAUSES WINDOWS SOCKETS TO
FAIL
Windows 98 2nd Edition installation caused Winsock-TCP/IP to stop
working, disabling Internet-based communication client software.
The problem may also occur under the original Windows 98 if the "128-
bit Encryption Support for Dialup Networking 1.3" Update is installed,
then subsequently uninstalled from Control Panel, Add/Remove.
SYMPTOMS
After installing Windows 98 Second Edition, Winsock clients may report
the following errors:
* Internet Explorer 5.0: "Cannot Find Server or DNS Error,"
* Outlook 98: "The server could not be found. (Account 'MindSpring Mail
Server', POP3 Server: 'pop.mindspring.com', Error Number 0x800ccc0d)."
* FTP client WS_FTP (if used): "FTP Failed 'createsocket' - address not
supported."
Windows 98 Dialup Networking may connect normally to the ISP
with "Password Authentication Protocol" and "TCP/IP" listed in
the "Connected To..." window under the Modem icon in the System Tray.
Modem Diagnostics and the Modem Session Log may report no error
conditions.
Other procedures provided by the Windows 98 Troubleshooter Wizards do
not resolve the symptoms.
--------
RESOLUTION
1. Remove DUN from Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs - Windows Setup
tab, click (don't un-check) Communications then click the Details
button and un-check Dial-up Networking. Click OK to close with windows.
2 Ignore prompt to Restart
3. Run regedit from the Start->Run box. Delete Winsock and Winsock2
branches from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
4. Run AUTODIAL.REG (see below). This puts back a few items into the
registry deleted in step 3. Run it by finding it in explorer and double-
clicking it.
5. Restart Windows
6. Reinstall DUN similar to how you removed it in step 1. (you will be
prompted for the Windows 98 CD)
7. Restart Windows
Winsock functions should be restored.
CONTENTS OF AUTODIAL.REG
Create a file called AUTODIAL.REG somewhere with the lines between the
dash lines below.
--------------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock\Autodial]
"AutodialDllName32"="url.dll"
"AutodialFcnName32"="AutodialHookCallback"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings]
"EnableAutodial"=hex:01,00,00,00
---------------------------------
===================
The procedure described above did solve my problem. One point, I
checked what happened to the registry when I ran the AUTODIAL.REG and
noted that it did not install the "AutodialDllName32"="url.dll" entry
like I thought it should so I did it manually after running the .REG
and noticing it was missing the key. I am not sure if it is required.
Regedit lets you create keys and values.
Good Luck - I will post this at various places. I would not have been
able to resolve this problem without the help from others that post
solutions on Usenet.
