Well, yes. If no TCP/IP networking working, then no Internet as well as no Intranet!
Some dlls or registry information has been altered such that no IP packets are allowed into the system. DHCP requests are going out, based on the transmit behaviour (I would have to put Wireshark on the LAN segment to be sure, but I have seen this behaviour before), but no IP packets are being allowed up past some low level control.
Hello Robert. I would request you to try the instructions mentioned in this link: http://avgread.me/1Fqdu9a and if the issue persists please do let us know. Thank you.
This is an XP system with all patches made behind a firewall using a SAMBA domain controller for shared drives.
I was downloading a supposedly 'safe' tool from cnet and AVG jumped in to protect me. Three malwares moved to the valut. But I noticed that my shared drives were no longer available. I rebooted and no network access. Just the zeroconf IP addressing. I rebooted with a linux liveCD (Fedora 18 i386) and networking works fine, so the problem is in the XP software.
Networking properties show packets outbound, but nothing inbound; I suspect the outbound are DHCP requests.
So where do I look to get networking going again?
Hello Robert. Please temporarily disable your AVG with the link given: http://avgread.me/1GnMD3N and check it once. If you are facing the same issue please let me know. Thank you.
Hello Robert. Sorry to hear that. Do you mean that you lost your internet connection?
