Question and Answer Database FAQ4414C.txt :"Socket subsystem error" during install of InterBase Category :Database Issues Platform :All-32Bit Product :C++Builder3.x, C++Builder4.x, Question: During installation of InterBase on Windows 95 or Windows NT, the configuration of the network service fails and reports the error message "Socket subsystem error." Answer: This error occurs on systems that use the Novell Winsock TCP/IP driver. InterBase 5.5 supports only the Microsoft Winsock TCP/IP driver. Some versions of the Novell Winsock TCP/IP driver are not compatible with the Microsoft driver. Installing or running InterBase on a platform with a Novell TCP/IP driver is not supported. Remove the Novell TCP/IP protocol driver using Control Panel | Network | Protocols. Install the Microsoft TCP/IP protocol driver from the Windows NT and 95 installation media. 3/1/1999 8:10:03 AM
