Sometimes the simplest solution is the best

Ok, I'm a geek. I sat in a dude's office for an hour trying to figure out a winsock error 10054, for a pocket pc. I did the soft reset, but was wary about doing the hard reset because i've heard that it'll reset the machine to factory standards....so i spent the hour doing research when all I had to do was the hard reset. Sometimes i feel dumb.
