Internet will not work.....

[stuman19]

Ran the following programs and now internet will not work:

AVG Anti Virus
HijackThis
MS Beta Antispyware
Search and Destroy

For some reason I cannot get an IP address at all no matter what. I have ran LSPFix and that did not work. Something in the registry must be preventing me from getting a connection. I have reset the cable modem also. Suggestions?

Hijackthis is known to be dangerous. :moon:

Try uninstalling and reinstalling TCP/IP (if you can...).

 

[stuman19]

Let me try that

EDIT: Can't uninstall it....but I'm with you..it has to be hijackthis.

 

[stuman19]

Anyone else with a thought?

It's too early for a bump. :|

Cross posting, posting in the wrong forums, and early bumps. Tisk tisk.

Why can't you uninstall TCP/IP?
Does a static IP address work?
What happens when you ipconfig /renew?

I'm on a bit of a time constraint so my apologies. Windows XP will not allow an uninstall of TCP/IP. I do not believe charter allows static IP addressing. They are not using a router, so I need to get an IP address from the DHCP server. Ipconfig /renew does not work, tried that.

Once again, sorry.

Anything in event viewer?

There is stuff in application and system log, but I"m not sure what to look for. I really think it must be something that was inproperly taken out using hijackthis.

I've already tried the LSPFix but that did not work.

 

[n0cmonkey]

Is there a firewall? Disable it.
Is this your machine or a client's?

 

[n0cmonkey]

Open event viewer, try to renew the ip address, and see if anything new pops up in event viewer.
