limited or no connectivity

[Guest]

My computer w/ XP Pro SP2, started ating funny, so I downloaded AD-AWARE and
did a spyware san. It told me that D-OM had ended prematurely and now I get
a "Limited or no connectivity" error. Is there any way to fix the network
connection?

"This connection has limited or no connectivity. You might not be able to
access the Internet or some network resources. "

Resolutions: 1. Use this command line: "Netsh winsock reset".
2. Run Microsoft patch (KB884020).
3. If your local area connection is working properly and you simply want to
disable the warning message. To do this, go to the properties of the NIC,
uncheck the following option on the General Tab: "Notify me when this
connection has limited or no connectivity".
4. Disable and re-enable the NIC.

Moses,

Check for corrupt LSP / Winsock, which happens sometimes when you remove
spyware.

If XP SP2, Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh winsock reset catalog" into the
command window.

Give LSP-Fix <http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm>, WinsockFix
<http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=257>, or WinsockXPFix
<http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html> a shot.

If no help yet, reset TCP/IP.

Start - Run - "cmd". Type "netsh int ip reset c:\netsh.txt" into the command
window.
