NO network

Hi

I have just joined this newsgroup to see if *someone* can offer solution
to the problem.

I have client that has a 3pc network. (2 d/top 1 l/top) all pc's running
xp sp1. Until last week the network was fully functional. They did have a
virus attack and though this has been rectified it does seem since then
that the network has not been working.

I have done everything that I can think of so far. Reinstalled services
and client (file printer sharing, ms client for windows). Have tried
removing the network card from the device manager list. Rebooted several
times after setting/resetting network ip addresses, workgroup names etc
etc. SO far still no good.

Each pc can see itself but cannot ping any other pc on the network. There
are NO firewalls active.

Short of pulling the n/i card and rebooting what else can I try?

Microsoft support is still as useless as ever and STILL want $50 for
*basic* support problems that THEY should handle!

Hi
Before we go any further you may just want to look at
the following KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;308007
I know that you probably will have tried most of the
suggestions but just in case you haven't. If nothing
helps there then check that none of the network
connections have been bridged. A lot of people who have
had this problem have found that removing all protocols
and adding them back again have worked. I know you have
tried this but make sure that you have added the NWLINK
NetBIOS.
Let me know how you get on, Luke.

I tried the suggestions here (thank you for those) but to no avail :-(

I ended up submitting to the Microsoft paid support and this did resolve
the problem. One thing I did not do and should have done, (prior to M$)
was to remove the PCCillin Av/firewall from within safe mode. As this
seemed to rectify the problem.

Reinstalling the firewall though, DOES prevent pinging othe pc's via ip or
name. This is the case even though I set the firewall to accept all ports
from all pc's in the 192.168.0.xxx range. Explorer could see/use the other
pcs even though they could not be pinged. There may be an option/setting
for the firewall to allow pinging, though I not seen it.

So thank you again for your suggestions. I did learn from them :D
