Hi, I am facing a regular Winsock error whenever I am trying to upload a new webpage package. I checked the Passive Firewall button and all the possible options, but still can’t get the source of error. For your information, my ISP is valid and fine for access through CuteFTP as well. Can anyone solve this strange problem of mine?

Make sure your network is working fine. You can try to uninstall and reinstall your network driver by doing these following steps:
Â
Click on my computer
Properties
Hardware
Device manager
Network adapters
(If there are any yellow circle with a ! that means your drivers are not working)
High light the driver and right click
Choose uninstall and then reinstall
