If you do have a Windows XP cd, you can use Netdiag
You must install the Support tools from the XP cd if they are not already installed.
Use a retail XP CD and follow the following steps to install the Support Tools
A) Insert the CD and browse to the Support\Tools folder
B) Double-click on the setup file
C) Go through the prompts until you get to the "Select An Installation Type" screen
D) Select Complete and click Next
Once setup completes or if the Support Tools are already installed:
A) Open a command prompt.
B) Type "netdiag /test:winsock" (without the quotes) and press Enter
It will return the test results for several network components including the Winsock. .For more details on the test, you can add /v at the end of the command. This will set it to verbal.
