Connection failed (10050:Network is down)

Post by ZiRu$ »

I get this message when trying to connect in FLASH FXP and when i try to download in BitTorrent...

I can still browse the internet and download.

I checked microsoft and heres the reasoning for the error

=================================================
WSAENETDOWN
10050
Network is down.
A socket operation encountered a dead network. This could indicate a serious failure of the network system (that is, the protocol stack that the Windows Sockets DLL runs over), the network interface, or the local network itself.
=================================================

Any idea what I can do? If not I'll just format my computer tommrorrow!!!!
