Windows XP networking corrupted after "house cleaning"

[Christophe N.]

Hi there,

I'm now puzzled by network connectivity lost on my WinXP laptop on all
NIC. This occured after major virus and spyware clean up with various
anti-virus, ad-aware, and others...

What happens :
- No DHCP IP provided (from home router, another Win2000 host still OK
with DHCP server)
- Manual IP doesn't help
- 0 packet transmitted from any NIC on the laptop (Ethernet, 2 Wi-Fi)
despite physical connection's OK
- "no or limited connectivity" on all connected NIC with 169.254.X.Y address

What I tried without success :
- Desactivate/Reactivate NICs
- Uninstall/Reinstall NIC device drivers
- Deactivate/Reactivate/Redesactivate IP Filtering & Windows Firewall
- Install WinXP SP2 (and desactivate Firewall)
- netsh winsock reset catalog
- LSP-Fix, WinsockFix and WinsockXPFix (on previous Chuck advise)
- netsh int ip reset c:\netsh.txt (twice, first log was big, second
small, no success)

Any other idea or advice would be appreciated. I'm lost.

Thanks a lot

Christophe

Chris:

I just posted a similar issue before I read your email. did you ever find a
solution to it? If you do, would you mind forwarding it to me? I am
desparate!!!

PS: When you ping a location, do you get strange characters in the results?

Like: reply from %^& bytes=152 time=15 bytes=32 ?

Hi Dave,

Sorry, still nothing new on my case. I'll post anything new here.
I don't have any strange ping results only the timeout std answer
because no packet is sent at all If I trust the NIC stats.

After a night of despair, I was ready to reinstall windows... and this
evening I tryed to uninstall all the anti-problems solutions I tryed
after my virus infection : BINGO

VCOM SystemSuite Firewall I hate you !
I was desactivated... but causing all my trouble !

Reboot and go ! All networks back !

Thanks for all readers and supporters
