Media Disconnected

iamliss · 11-07-2009, 03:29 AM

I have such problem right now. My WiFi works fine all the time but yday my sister use i think infected flash card. So now i got all my network devices not worked on my laptop with XP. On 2nd laptop still all working without any problems. Read lots of info about that and have no success.
-----------------------
>ipconfig
Ethernet adapter Local Area ....
Media state .................: Media disconnected
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network ...
Media state .................: Media disconnected

>ipconfig /release
No operation can be perfomed on Local Area Connection while its media disconnected
(same for Wireless)
-----------------------------

What i did:
1) Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults. netsh int ip reset reset.log
Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults: netsh winsock reset catalog
Both give me no result.

2) Making all with drivers: uninstall/install and all with connections: enable/disable/repair. Changed 100 times all settings

Still have no success :((((

Even though it appears you're having the same problem, please start a new thread when you have a new issue. It's very difficult to keep two problems straight and who's working on what in a single thread.

I've created a new thread for your issue here.

Note: You will need to post complete details of your configuration and your specific issue in this new thread for us to help you.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Have you first done malware/spyware scans to insure you're free of the infection? Have you tried system restore to before the problem occurred?

Sure 1st i did - check for viruses. Find some. Im using kaspersky. Tryed system restore for long period. but it say me all time - you have no changes.
Spend full day to fix this, read tons info. but have no solution yet.
