Winsock problems

I was having issues with my internet connection (turned out to be a problem with the hosts file). In the course of trying to solve the problem I did:
But apparently this will have removed all third-party LSPs and caused the softwares to not work properly. However I don't know which software might have been affected and need reinstalling - any ideas?
The problem now is, I can only connect to the internet using DHCP to get an IP address automatically. If I enter a static IP, I can see the router, but not the internet.
Could this be to do with messing around with winsock? Does anyone know how I can fix this? Cheers.
