My kids recently trashed their computer with spyware and Browser
helper objects. Suffice it to say, we can't connect it to the
internet anymore.
When I start Internet Explorer it starts to find google.com (start
page) and then brings up the "Page Cannot be Displayed" error. What
is weird is that you can ping things outside the network and the pings
work.
A ping to www.microsoft.com worked fine.
An ftp (using dos) to ftp.microsoft.com returned:
"ftp: socket :unknown error number
A tracert to www.microsoft.com worked fine.
Email doesn't work either. No connection to my pop server is the
error I get.
So that tells me that my tcp/ip connection should be OK. I have tried
everything and cannot get a browser connection.
I tried going into Internet Explorer and choosing Tools:Internet
Optionsrograms:Reset Web Settings.
I am running Windows XP Pro. I have removed my network card rebooted
and then reinstalled the network card. I have tried to "repair" my
network connection in XP and nothing is working. I would hate to have
to reinstall. There are tons of programs on this thing.
Any advice appreciated, I will try anything. I have no problem
digging into the system or registry or anything. Help!
