Default Dial up networking

OK, understood, but you shouldn't have to reinstall the OS for a problem
such as this. LSPFix fixes most if not all connectivity problems
especially those resulting from the removal of some unwanted
malware/spyware and also an improperly uninstalled Firewall or AV
application (improper not being your fault but due to a faulty
uninstaller). LSPFix removes all additional Layered Service Providers
(LSPs) that have been added to those that are part of the basic system
which should restore connectivity but could mean you have to reinstall
your AV application.

Best of luck and I hope all goes well,

then I would probably have to reinstall OS. Sorry.

I did not use the LSPFix. I got everything working after trying several
things including, uninstalling Norton Internet Security, running Defrag,
Scandisk, then doing a System Restore which was the final step that got
things working.

Thanks for all your help. I'll hold on to the LSPFix program just in case.

Jason,

Thanks for the feedback and I'm pleased to read you've got your system
back talking to the net. I would still suggest you install a firewall,
possibly even NIS, but only once you have worked out how to configure it
to allow both outgoing (and where necessary) incoming connections.

I would certainly strongly advise you to keep ISPFix as this applet is
extremely useful in rebuilding winsock which can so easily be damaged when
removing certain malware.

Best of luck,
