The winsock is a set of registry entries. You can find them at :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock2]

Deleting and then restoring a good set puts it back to the default configuration and any config problems can be solved that way for instance if you had bad settings you can just come back to default this way rather then trying to fix it

How can I "delete" and then "restore" a given set of registry entries? Am I supposed to keep backup copy of Registry entry?

newprouser

refer to the first post for the steps.

After you save the settings u get a "filename.reg" which contains the enteries u hav backed up.

Double click and press OK to restore the settings to the registry
