SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to start FrontPage, you may see the following error message:
FrontPage requires 32-bit TCP/IP networking. You do not have 32-bit TCP/IP networking installed. Would you like to see help on how to install it?

CAUSE

This message appears after you install Windows Sockets (Winsock) 2.0. FrontPage may not detect that you have TCP/IP installed if a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server is not available. If you are connected to the network, and a DHCP server is available, FrontPage will operate normally.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, restore Windows Sockets 1.1 and then install the Windows Sockets 2.0 update. To do this, follow these steps:
1.Restore Windows Sockets 1.1.
a. On the Windows Start menu, click Run.
b. In the Open box, type the following command
C:\<windir>\ws2bakup\ws2bakup.bat
where <windir> is the folder in which you installed Windows.

NOTE: If you receive a message indicating a sharing violation has occurred, press the A key to stop running this command. Repeat this step until the batch file has finished running and then follow these steps:
1.On the Windows Start menu, click Shutdown.
2.Click "Restart the Computer in MS-DOS Mode" and then click OK.
3.At the command prompt, type the following:
c:\<windir>\ws2bakup\ws2bakup.bat
Press ENTER.

NOTE: If you receive an error message while updating the registry, ignore the error.
4.Type exit

Windows will restart.
2.Download the W95ws2Setup.exe file from the following Microsoft World Wide Web site:

Note in which folder you saved the W95ws2Setup.exe file.
3.On the Windows Start menu, click Run.
4.In the Open box, type the following command
<path>\W95ws2Setup.exe
where <path> is the folder in which you saved the Ws2setup.exe file when you downloaded it. Click OK.
5.When the Windows Sockets 2 Setup program has finished running, restart the computer. To do this, follow these steps:
a. On the Windows Start menu, click Shutdown.
