[SOLVED] wireless internet not working

nsrao98 · 09-04-2007, 01:14 PM

Hi,
For the past few weeks I am not able to access wireless internet. Though the network is recognized and logged in no data transfer is taking place. I had virus problems which were recently resolved through general security forum (please search with user name nsrao98 to have a look at the logs etc).

Can anybody help me please?

Regards,
NS

Since you lost access when removing malware it may be a problem with Windows LSP.

Take a look at this program called LSPFIX:

It may be able to fix things for you if your connection was indeed damaged by malware.

Uhh, if you have XP-SP2, do NOT use the previous suggestion!

TCP/IP stack repair options for use with Windows XP with SP2.

Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt.

Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog

Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset reset.log

Reboot the machine.
