We have a TCP/IP LAN and very often programs running on the LAN have connection trouble, but did not give an error message. Then we played a game (quake2) on the LAN and now I got an error message: NET_GETPACKET: WSAENOTSOCK. Since I have Winsock 2 installed I run SOCKEYE and opened a socket (startup), and then wanted to close it (closesock).<br />
I got the same error: WSAENOTSOCK (10038).<br />
<br />
What does this mean and how can i fix it?

What does NETGETPACKET: WSAE_NOTSOCK mean?

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
