Over the holidays my computer completly crashed. I have a gateway pentium III computer. My computer came with a system restoration kit, so I restored windows. I lost all my files, but I have all of my programs and they run fine. However, when I try to get online, everything dials up and I connect, but an error pops up: NO SOCKET ERROR: 11001, ERROR - 0x800CCC0D. I checked my internet setting a million times. Can someone please help me?

google search for no+socket+error+11001 plenty of hits that address that issue this one describes it as a mistyped e-mail server http://www.compa.net/Support/support_email.htm Error Message or Problem: The host 'compa.net' could not be found.

Account: 'compa.net', Server: 'compa.net', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D Possible Problems: The incoming mail server is incorrectly typed. Remedy: Go to Tools > Accounts> Mail> Properties> Servers. Change the incoming server (POP3) to: 'mail.compa.net (substitute mail.compa.net to yours)

I had the socket error 110001 for three days and it drove me almost crazy but i've found a simple answer. You go to www.cnet.com, then you click on software. Then you search for the trojan remover, it is a little program but it's great!!!! no more socket error 11001.
