What is/are the problem(s) you are experiencing now?

Even with a misconnected NIC, if you were running a current
antivirus and personal firewall it is very unlikely -- but certainly not
inconceivable -- that there was a successful hack into your system.

The real trouble is I cannot get access to the internet
right now because the browser cannot find the DNS server.
I tried to ping some internet website and got no response.
The problem took place in a sudden when I was surfing on
the Internet. Same problem occured on another computer
with similar configuration in my office. I tried to
exchange network card and it did not help.
 
Hi Xing,

use netmon and take a trace from you client going to the internet. Welchia
and the latest virus usally send tons of ICMP packets and they will be
onafter another. Then you will now for sure.
 
Hello,

From your entry #7, it looks like DHCP requests are not getting through.
Hence, you're not getting a valid IP address, DNS, etc...
Perhaps check the personal firewall settings?

regards,

SteveC
