Can not renew IP address/Create Socket Error!

Ok…I have a problem with my Toshiba laptop computer. I'm not sure why the problem started or what initially set it off! When I turn on my computer I am immediately prompted by a message with a yellow triangle and an exclamation point in side which says CFSServ on the title bar, and inside the box it says: Create Socket Error (0x0000277A). You must click ok, so I do and another similar box pops up but the inside message reads: Listen Error. I click ok, and another box opens up saying: Recv socket InitConnect Error. So obviously the computer will not connect to the wireless network…. When I go to repair the wireless network it runs the test and almost finishes, but then sends a response of: Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Renewing your IP address. I'm getting sooooo frustrated!!! How can I fix this?!!?! Some one please help!! By the way, I have uninstalled and installed the wireless card twice….and I've tried the release/refresh of the ipconfig a couple times too! If you have any suggestions please help!!
