Re: Connected to Wireless Network, yet nothing loads...

I have the same issue as Banjo Man but instead of AVG, I'm running Spydoctor with Antivirus. Current OS is Windows XP SP3 x86 and I applied the tcp/ip stack repair using netsh but even that didn't work.

Last time the internet connection worked was when I was removing trojan viruses on my computer with Spydoctor. When I did a scan for any further viruses, it was cleansed but now my internet connection doesn't work. I've applied static IP and it shows that I have been connected but like Banjo Man, it doesn't load Firefox, IE, etc.

Wireless connection works 'cause I am using my laptop to gain access to the internet and i have been able to log into the router. I re-installed SP3 to have the internet work for a mere 15 seconds before it went gimped on me again. Disabled Spydoctor and waited for something to happen but to no prevail.
