Anyone tried using Winsock or something similar?

I acccidently put this in the wrong forum at first.

I was thinking it might be possible to replace win networking with some kind of stand-alone application for users

who want just basic internet connectivity. Any ideas?

Thanks

jou may want to explain * what the h*ll you are talkin about*

if you'd look closely to nlite it can already remove most of windows' network tools, like the novel client, and the netbios support - if you remove al of that except for the TCPIP client you are about to the point i guess you want to be at...

btw look closely at the decription of the components to determin what you want to remove. - some windows-Active directory support stuf wil also remove some local stuf ..

Just wondering if anyone had tried removing all networking components and using a simpler application that may be more secure, smaller, and better suited to a user who's only requirements are DSL through a NIC.

I'm still just learning this stuff.

thanks,
