An operation...that is not a socket

Well, I started my Windows 2000 computer today and while trying to renew my IP address from the DHCP server received the following message: "An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket" Luckily after a bit of searching I found the following article on support.microsoft.com: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;817571 which seems to have allieviated this particular problem. Unfortunately it also left me with a problem where where I was completely locked out of my remote printers from this particular machine. Apparently both of these problems are related to McAfee firewall and its playing with the Windows networking software. In the end the only way to recover what McAfee had destroyed with the printers was to update from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, although any update (even to the same OS) or use of the system recovery tool (located on the Windows installation disc) should fix the problem.
