Which antivirus do you use?

Boot into safemode and networking and see if your internet works

I would recommend you to uninstall antivirus and third party firewalls to see check before doubting the network .

I want you to insert your OS CD or if you have i386 folder on your PC ,that should be enough


Go to run and type

cmd and click ok

Now we need to replace your tcpip.sys,copy and run this command


expand G:\I386\TCPIP.SY_ C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\TCPIP.SYS


where G refers to dvd drive which need not be of same letter for you
If your PC has I386 folder then you can use the file from there and mention its path.

Reboot the PC

I also wanted to know if your PC was affected by rootkit or trojan recently?
You did not say when this issue started?

Yeah actually I did remove one using hitman pro. I had a feeling that might be something behind this

I see where you're going with this and I think this will solve my problem. I just need step by step instructions because I looked at the windows recover console functions and I was a little confused and I did not proceed because I did not know what to do

hi
if all the ip setiings and ur net connection is ok (that reminds me, u havent mentioned the type of net connnection u use)

4 things u neeed to check on ur ie setting

open ue i.e

step one : click on File> look out for "Work Offline" if theres a tick mark parrele to it, untick the option by clicking on the "Work Offline' option

step two : click on tools>connections>lan connections
select the check box of "detect automatic settings"
click ok then apply

step three : open network connections, look out for ur connection medium , in ur case it will be a lan connection, make sure it is activated (icon should not be a lighter shade) if not then right click on that icon n click enable

step four; u need to check ur wire (re-clamp) an d the nc by which ur comp is connected to the net


awaiting commnets
