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, -- Mike Maltby jbly wrote: I misunderstood him. He read that if the Winsock fix does not work, then I would probably have to reinstall OS. Sorry. |

Dial up networking
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 "Mike M" wrote: OK, understood, but you shouldn't have to reinstall the OS for a problem such as this.

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, -- Mike Maltby |
