[SOLVED] No internet connection with windows 2000 pro

[SHRML]

I can't seem to establish and internet connection with my router. My computer recognizes when the cable is plugged in. However it does not find the IP address when i try to ping it. Firefox nor IE will connect. Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this? Please let me know.

Please supply the following info, exact make and models of the equipment please.

Name of your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
Make and exact model of the broadband modem.
Make and exact model of the router.
Model numbers can usually be obtained from the label on the device.
Connection type, wired or wireless.
If wireless, encryption used, (none, WEP, WPA, or WPA2)
Make and model of your computer.
Version and patch level of Windows on all affected machines, i.e. XP-Home (or XP-Pro), SP1-SP2, Vista, etc.

Also, please give an exact description of your problem symptoms, including the exact text of any error messages.




On any problem computer, I'd also like to see this:

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

My isp is road runner and it is through a wired router. I recently had to get rid of a virus so I know it has nothing to do with the router. Also I had to remove Nortons Antivrius 2003 because I believe it was corrupted as the active scan was disabled and I could not enable it.

I also noticed where it says auconfig IP the address there is not my IP address.

Try this Automated WINSOCK Fix all Windows Versions and see if that makes a difference.

The winsockfix worked! Thank you very much.
