Please help!!! Can't connect to internet!!!

[pinacoladaxb]

I was in the middle of a very important project requiring a PC. All of
sudden, I find that I can't connect to the internet. This is really bad
I need this fixed immediately.

My windows xp is not wireless, so I checked the cables. The computer i
connected to the router, and the router obviously works because I ca
access the computer from this mac. I looked at "Network Connections
and it looks like it's connected. One of the connections says:

Local Area Connection
Connected, Firewalled
SiS 900-Based PCI Fast Ethernet Ad

I even connected the computer directly to the modem. I still had n
luck. Any ideas? Again, this is urgent. Please help me

I tried the winsock reset thing and had no luck. I'll try the
downloadable app now. In the mean time, this might help you help me.
Here's what The Command Prompt responds with when I type
"ipconfig/all":


Windows IP Configuration:

Host Name...........................: Bob
Primary Dns Siffix..................:
Node Type............................: Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled..................: No
WINS Proxy Enabled................: No

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-Specific DNS Suffix...:
Description.............................: SiS 900-Based PCI Fast
Ethernet Adapter
Physical Address......................: 00-11-D8-3D-8F-DC
Dhcp Enabled..........................: No

Subnet Mask...........................: 255.0.0.0

Thanks for helping!

Be sure to put a space between ipconfig and the /all.

The response should be a listing of your IP address
your physical address (MAC address)
Your subnet mask address
Your default gateway address
Your DSN server address
Your DHCP address

No. It's supposed to be ipconfig/all. There's no space.

 

[Big Al]

No. It's supposed to be ipconfig/all. There's no space.

It doesn't matter. It works both ways the same.

 

[pinacoladaxb]

OK. I really don't care honestly. I just NEED my computer online ASAP
It's really important

Try my Winsock Repair network tool. Download it here
http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm

 

[pinacoladaxb]

I tried the Winsock repair thing. Now, when the computer boots up, i
says "Invalid system disk
Replace disk, and then press any key"

What should I do? If my computer it broken, I don't care as long as m
files can be recovered. I'm not going to sue you.

...now if my files are gone, that's a whole other situation..........

 

[pinacoladaxb]

Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad.

This is not good. I can't open any files. When I try to open something,
I get a message saying "Not enough quota is available to process this
command." Furthermore, when I open My Computer, the drives do not have
titles.

Actually, "IPCONFIG /ALL" works just fine, always has.

Leythos's warning unfortunately showed up too late. The "tool" you
downloaded and installed seems to have caused even more damage. In the
future, be wary of downloading and installing files from untrusted
sources. If you're not sure, just wait. If the consensus in this group
is to go ahead, you're probably safe. Otherwise, you're taking chances.

For the time being, try uninstalling the "tool" in Safe Mode. And try
using System Restore. But I'm afraid you might wind up needing to
aggressively scan your PC for malware now.

 

[pinacoladaxb]

I'm doing a virus scan now.

I don't know why I was getting that quota error, but it's gone now. I'
not part of a business network. I am the administrator of the computer
I admit I was pretty stupid to use that software. I was just desperate
The good news is that everything seems to be working perfectly normal a
the moment, aside from the one error message I get on startup. Do yo
think I should get my computer checked out? How soon? I sort of need i
really badly for the next couple months

 

[pcbutts1 [MS MVP]]

Sorry to burst your bubble and that of the stalker Leythos, did you read the
part of my sig that says to ignore him? He has you believing my winsock tool
damaged your computer when all it is the standard "Microsoft" netsh
command, nothing more nothing less, netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt. that's
it. I don't know why you got those error but it was not from running the
netsh command. What did you do to get your internet back? if nothing then
how do you know it was not the winsock tool that fixed it. BTW the netsh int
ip reset resetlog.txt does a little more then the netsh winsock reset does
which is what you ran using the other utility.

pcbutts, I know you think that Leythos is a stalker, but he's only
trying to protect all of us here. After looking at what Leythos showed
me, it's becoming hard to trust you. Leythos hasn't done anything
wrong. Want proof that your program messed up my computer?

Before I ran your program, the only thing wrong with my computer was it
couldn't connect to the internet.
After I ran your program, I get an "Invalid System Disk" error during
the booting process and I get a message saying it can't find a file.

 

[pcbutts1 [MS MVP]]

How did you fix it?

Why did you suggest that tool if you didn't know the specifics of his
situation?

BECAUSE HE DOESN'T CARE!

Honestly. Did you look at his recent posts? THEY'RE ALL THE SAME.

"Try my ____ tool"
"My _______ can solve all of your problems. Download it now."

Well if you did nothing then it sounds to me like Winsock corruption. Your
systems Winsock can be hijacked, enabling spyware to record everything you
do online or send information you think is going to one Web site to another
altogether. Any corruption in the Winsock 2 LSP will disable your internet
access. Possibly you have inadvertently installed some spyware that adds an
LSP of its own. Winsock 2 adheres to the Windows Open Service Architecture.
In effect, the WOSA architecture allows third-party service providers to be
plugged in without the need for application developers to rewrite their code
and without the need to replace the Winsock 2 DLL ws2_ 32.dll. The DLL
implementing an LSP is either loaded by another LSP or directly by
ws2_32.dll, depending upon its position in the protocol chain. If an LSP is
not at the top of the protocol chain, the LSP immediately above it in the
chain loads it; otherwise, it is loaded by ws2_ 32.dll. The fix of mine you
ran wipes out all of the 3rd party LSP's so they have to be reloaded by the
ws2_ 32.dll or the program itself. Legitimate anti-spyware applications like
Super AntiSpyware and others with real-time protection will reload their LPS
on reboot. Spyware that accesses the LSP's when the LSP is removed will
cause the problem you had for example the old new.net Trojan. The reason
your system is rebooted after running the fix is to complete the repair by
rebuilding files. It was bad malware that caused that issue and the Winsock
repair that fixed it.

Ignore posts made by the person called Leythos, he is a stalker who's been
obsessed with me for years ever since I spurned his advances towards me.

[pinacoladaxb]

I don't use the internet on my windows computer for anything except
testing games I develop.

I'm going to propose a reason for this problem, but don't jump on it
just to get yourself cleared. Before I ran your software and after the
internet stopped working, I deleted one of the connections that was not
in use. I thought maybe my computer was trying to connect to it even
though it could not.

Remove the floppy.
