I can browse the local area network with no problem, but cannot use the
WAN. I have tried all the basics and was able to browse the internet with no
problem until a friend loaded the drive with spyware and viruses. I have
repaired everything and the computer is running like a champ accept I can't
go online. Any ideas would be appreciated.....

Thank, Sean
 
Hi,
Some more details would be helpful, but... you may just need to repair your
winsock connections.

Depending on your OS, try these winsock repair tools from
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

LSPFix- all versions of Windows http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.zip
Winsock2 Fix- Win98, ME
http://www.bu.edu/pcsc/internetaccess/winsock2fix.html
WinsockXP Fix- WinXP http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
Also, with instructions, at http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm
From LavaSoft- all versions of Windows-

You might still have malware installed and running. Did you use CWShredder
and Ad-aware and Spybot?
See: Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm for info on these programs and
important security tips.

Hope this helps,
