Guest Gomek Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Hello. One of the users of my computer told me that when she went to go online, she got an error saying there was a problem with the winsock provider catalog and she went through the troubleshooting section and ended up resetting the DCHP address then restarted the computer. Everything seems to be working fine, but I noticed the new IP address that was leased to me is 192.x.x.x instead of the 65.x.x.x that road runner uses. I can't think of why this happened in the first place, I'm real good about keeping spyware and such off my system. Is this something I need to be concerned about? Thanks in advance.
Guest R. McCarty Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: Winsock provider That's a normal condition if your client PCs are behind a NAT (Network Address Translation) device such as a Router. To the public Internet your IP is assigned by your ISP on your LAN (Local Area Connection) the clients use a 192.x.y.z IP address.

Guest Gomek Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: Winsock provider Thanks! The main reason it concerned me was that it's never happened before. I do have a Linksys NAT router hooked up and sometimes I need to reset it. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm somewhat savvy when it comes to networking, but with everything that's going on these days with hacks and such I because a little worried. Thanks again to all who wrote. "R.

Guest Gomek Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Re: Winsock provider Thanks Karen. It wasn't the fact that I was renewing an IP address as it was the first triplet in the address itself. 192 instead of 65.
