What O/S and patch level? What kind of connection? What kind of network equipment, modem, router, switch, etc. Make/model of all. Exactly where does the error show up?

Well, I found this on an search:

A socket operation encountered a dead network. Check your Winsock, protocol stack, network driver, and network interface card configuration. Note that this error occurs rarely, because a Winsock implementation cannot reliably detect hardware problems.

Also this link describes that error: http://www.dameware.com/support/kb/a...aspx?ID=300058
