Hello all! First time poster here... =)
I removed a bunch of spyware and now cannot browse the Internet using IE or Firefox. It began as not being able to see HTTPS sites despite all troubleshooting. When Win XP was reinstalled, we lost all browsing period. First the symptoms, then the troubleshooting we've done.
I have Win XP
Firewall is disabled
I can ping 127.0.0.1
I *cannot* ping my own IP
I can ping gateway, DNS, and rest of world, including by site (i.e.: www.fark.com)
I cannot otherwise 'see' the Net: can't browse the internet, cannot download via auto updates
*** edit: also getting 'Microsoft Tun Miniport Adapter #2' problem in Device Manager (show hidden) , error Code 10)
Some steps we've taken:
Standard Network troubleshooting (Check network settings, release/renew IP, cables, etc.)
Remove/reinstall network adapter & TCP/IP (cannot physically remove net card, ethernet port is integrated with motherboard grr)
Firefox un/reinstall
IE un/reinstall (using ms.com registry editing method)
WinsockFix.exe
LSPFix.exe
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset
Remove/Reinstall Winsock & Winsock2
Win XP reinstall
Nothing, and I mean nothing, is fixing this. Does anyone have any further insight to share?
