Winsock cannot connect
|
Larry Fravel
OK, this has probably been covered before but here is my
problem. Winsock suddenly stopped working a few days ago with the error
message: “From Telnet Socket Winsock returned: Invalid Operation at
Current State”. This happens every time I start logger32. I went through
the “netsh winsock reset” thing from the command line as admin. To get it
to take you have to restart the computer. Each time I tried to restart the
computer it would freeze up as it shut down and had to be restarted by a hard
power down and then turned back on. The O/S was WIN 10 latest and greatest
iteration on an I5 3.1 gig machine with 12 gig of RAM and 2 terra byte hard
drive. I will also add that the computer has no other issues with
connecting to the internet.
Since I was having problems with Win 10 doing other things I bit the bullet
and rolled back to Win7 doing a clean install. This meant having to
reinstall drivers, set up connections, reinstall logger32 and all the rest that
is entailed when this is done. Same machine - different O/S - same program
– same problem - same error message – same results with doing the winsock reset
other than now the computer restarts as it should after the reset. I have
tried “pinging” from the command line and the ping returns telling me (I assume)
that TCP/IP is et up properly. All the online help says that when winsock
doesn’t work the people have problems with slow or no internet
connections, That is clearly not my problem. I am beginning to
wonder if something is wrong in logger. When I re-installed it I
downloaded 3.50 full install from the site, installed it, and the
just copied my logger32 files – all of them including the .ini, backups,
everything back into the directory. Could there be a file or something
that has become corrupt and I inadvertently copied it back in and caused the
problem to happen again, and if so – what might that file be.
I’m at wits end guys. I have done all I can think of. Any help
would be appreciated.

Try turning off your firewall and see if it lets the connection thru that along with your Anti-virus software. A lot of the packages these days has controls to watch over your firewall/Internet connections and will stop a lot of things from working. I use Avast and had to turn the online feature off as it started blocking everything I tried to do thru the browser..

Larry, I just installed Logger32 a week or so ago, and after the first day or two, I have been getting the exact same winsock error message each time I log on and try to connect to Telnet (VE7CC). Then each time I click OK, repeat the connect process a second time, and I connect to telnet successfully without that error message repeating. It’s annoying, but Logger32 is such an improvement over DX4Win that it’s a small price to pay, hi. That said, I’ll be interested to see what suggestions you get as to how to deal with the problem.
FYI, I’m using Win 10, an FTDX-5000, and a very high speed internet connection through Comcast.
I am getting one other error message which is more problematic – every time I log on, I am asked to update from the version I just installed (3.50.0) to 3.50.347. The message says it’s automatic, sit back and relax, etc. If I click “yes”, it goes through the upgrade process and ultimately fails. Then I have to log on again, and when I get the update invitation again, I click “no”, and everything works fine. Any suggestions on how to address this issue?
Nice callsign…

I tried turning off Windows Fire Wall and experienced the same
problem. I even put the entire logger32 into Windows Defender exceptions
with the same results.

Jim -
I can click OK all day and it never goes away. Doesn’t matter if I am trying to connect to Telnet or local host. I have never had any update problems or club log update problems – both are set to automatic start up. And, logger connects just fine through Comm 4 to my IC-7600 just like it did before. And I agree – logger32 is the best out there by far.

Here is a thought. I don’t write code or do any kind of programming, but
something in logger32 calls up and initializes winsock and the cluster window.,
more than likely the cluster window and the out to Windows to call up
winsock. If that particular line or lines was somehow corrupted it could
be the problem. I am just guessing but to me that line would be in the logger
.ini file. If anyone can verify this then my only choice would be to
reinstall logger, go with the bare ini file and reset all the rest of the
program up again so that it works the same as before. That is one hell of
a lot of work to do.
If anyone out there can confirm – or deny – this is how it works it would
help.

Larry,
You do not have to start over to reinstall. You can install the full Logger32 on top of your existing Logger32 folder. This will replace the system files and leave your configuration and logbook files intact. Recommended procedure: 1) Make backup of User Configuration files 2) Make backup of logbook 3) Export logbook to ADIF file 4) Close Logger32 and run Logger32 setup from the full file. Currently ver 3.50.0 5) Auto update to ver 3.50.347. Jim – w5ifp@... From: hamlogger@... [mailto:hamlogger@...] Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 9:45 PM To: hamlogger@...

Here is the latest up date on my Winsock problem. I have logger32
running on 3 different computers, 2 desk tops and one lap top. I took
Jim’s advise and downloaded and installed 3.50 from the web site over the
existing copy on the secondary desk top. This is used mainly for back up
and for operating FT-8 on another rig. After I had down loaded and
installed it I started logger32 and had the same problem. Same error
message. This computer is hard wired connected to the network just like my
main logging machine. It has Win 10 running on it. Next I opened up
my laptop that I use for traveling and at out camp where I can take the FT-8 rig
and use it. It too has Win 10 installed. All O/S copies are up to
date. I connected via wireless to my network just to see if maybe a switch
or router was giving me problems. Same error message, same results.
I can get on the net and go anywhere I want with any one of the three
computers.
So I have two desktops one running Win 7 and one running Win 10 and both
are hardwired to the network with no other network issues whatsoever. They are
both able to get on the web at will and go wherever I want, including sending
and receiving e-mails. Telnet has a problem with Winsock. The lap
top running Win 10 is connected via wireless to the same router can go anywhere
on the net and send and receive e-mails and it too has the same problem with
Telnet and Winsock.
I next went to the command line of all of these, and my main computer in
the living room that is used as a primary online device for e-mail, browsing,
and gaming. I could ping each computer and the router from any of the
three others. Seems like the network and the router is responding.
On the off chance that it may be a problem with my ISP having trouble with
TCP/IP connectivity I called their (Suddenlink Communications) tech
support. I went through all the problems including all that I had done to
trouble shoot the problem. The rep on the other end was silent for a few
seconds, and then asked me if I would hold for a minutes. I assumed she
was going to ask some one else or maybe transfer me to some one. A few
minutes later she came back on and said they aren’t/ can’t do anything with
TCP/IP but I could connect to their “Premier Tech Support” for $17.95 a month,
and they might be able to help me with my problem. IN talking to her the
“Premier” people are contractors and not part of the ISP itself. Since I
am still not convinced that they could help I declined.
Now, am I all wet in thinking that the problem is external to my in house
network? I can get DX spots from DX Summit on a lap top or maybe go dual
screen or even just run it in the background and shrink logger down when I want
to check one but that is pretty inconvenient , does not let click on spot and
change the radio, and most of all does not fix the problem.
So, I am asking for further ideas, suggestions, tips, comments or
whatever.

I also forgot mention that I turned off all the computers, powered down the
modem, router, and both switches. Left them off for 5 minutes and powered
up the modem, waited a minute, powered up the router, waited, then the switch by
the router, and finally the switch in the shack. Only then did I turn to
computers back on. Did not help one bit.

Ok, now here is something strange. Late yesterday afternoon all
three computers connected back to Telnet and have been working just fine all
day. They just started working up out of the blue. No idea why, but
it does give me reason to believe it is something in my ISPs domain that is
doing it. And today I saw their truck down at the neighbor’s house doing
some pole work. For now all is well.
