Failed to bind socket

[Candelstick]

I'm not sure we're to put this thread but I just built my new rig it's all high end. I left home fore a day got home to play some witcher3 and I have not internet connection and I get a pop up after I login to windows saying failed to bind socket and none of my games will launch. Does anyone think there are the same issue or are the different. I'm working on the internet issue right now but I don't know what to do about the Asia servier push notification I got for the failed to bing socket.

 

ill post my specs below if it matters 

6700k

asus deluxe

16Gb corsair vengeance lax

Gtx 1080 strix

How are you connecting to the internet? Can you try launching other games in offline mode? Does the "failure to bind socket" message appear when you are starting a game, and if so what games? Do you have any kind of network interface device, either wireless or wired connected (other than the motherboards)?

Did you try turning it off and on again? (Your router and if, modem/ISP hardware)

It's only at start up. And i don't have anything other than my motherboard connection. My isp couldn't figure it out when we tried to reset the IP confit through th Cmdpt it wouldn't reset. So I'm thinking these issues are linked I was told I could try uninstalling the network adapter from the device manager but she told me I could ruin my motherboard so I don't want to do that

The fail to bind socket has to do with TCP/IP which is usually installed with each network card.  Maybe your network card is disabled or the drivers for it aren't installed or maybe for some reason you have some new antivirus or firewall which blocks everything and makes it impossible for games to work with sockets (which are part of creating or listening for connections with other computers through network)

Sometimes antivirus programs install virtual protocols like tcp/ip on network cards to filter stuff or check incoming traffic for viruses, and those in some cases screw up programs.

If you have a laptop make sure your wireless network card is enabled..

Uninstalling the network card will not break your motherboard

I have had webroot for about a week so I just disabled it and looked in the device manager and it says the network adapter is working fine

I'm just not sure what to do I'm going to do a bios flash back with the up to date one so I hope that works

So a bios flash back didn't even help
