i have a router conected to the principal PC, and i can not connect my laptop
to this router throw Wireless Lan Acces Area,it's been conected before but
due to some viruses i lost the conection.I no longer have this viruses but
still cannot conect,please help me,i don't know where to look.
If other systems can connect to the router, then the formerly infected
system may have had the Winsock stack damaged and needs it rebuilt.
QED:
1) *Can* other systems connect to the router via wireless ?
2) If they can connect, are they redirected to sites other then what
they attempt to access ?
3) If you hook up the formerly infected system via an ethernet cable,
does it connect to the router and the sites that you are trying to access ?
The reason I ask all of the above is that certain malware can infect the
router also causing redirects to occur.
IF all non-infected systems can connect and are not being redirected,
then rebuild the Winsock stack from a Command Prompt
Start > Run > type in the below, pressing Enter after *each* command
cmd
netsh winsock reset
exit
Restart the system.

If redirection is occurring, then see this:
