How to fix broken TCP/IP stack
Your Windows TCP/IP stack is broken. Please read http://www.visualkore-bot.com/faq.php#tcp to learn how to solve this.

- Windows XP
1. Make sure you're logged in as Administrator, or an administrator account. 2. Open a DOS command window. 3. Type the following command and press Enter:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
