Proxy? Check that.

And looking at the masses of items that are missing, how did they go missing? It nearly looks like you went around manually deleting anything you think you might not need.

proxy information wouldve shown in hijackthis with the IE settings up top. disabling the service will make the files seem missing.

I tried the dhcp flag, didn't work let me see if i can system restore.

EDIT: Thank god i had enable system restore this time around, going back to two days ago hopefully it'll work.

[Bikpik]

Have you tried other websites or just google?

[JigglyJam]

System restore didn't do it. I'm now thinking it's something on their end.

All sites, can't get to anything now.

if it was somethign on their end, you wouldnt be talking to me. you could try connecting to a different plug i guess. this doesnt apply if your talking from another connection.

[Norellicus]

Can you still ping your default gateway and DNS servers?

Also, you said you disabled some services...can you show us a pic of your services list? Make sure the columns showing the service name, status, and startup type are visible.

I'm on my laptop, leeching of somebody's unprotected wireless. They also have wireless running through the building as well, but i'm scared of it at the moment.

Other ethernet connection in the wall has no voltage or something and my other ethernet connection on my PC does the same thing as the one I'm using now.

check mcafee to see if "Lockdown Mode" is enabled by chance....

Just 2 days ago someone brought their laptop to me and I did all this crap, only to discover that it was in lockdown mode.

Where can I find that?

[Mafai]

In the security center, there should be a button the on the left that says lockdown firewall (sorry i thought it said mode).

another thing to consider is mcafee maybe blocking all the winsock fixes you applied since it is a security center. even if disabled that thing could be changes.

[JigglyJam]

Ah, I don't have their firewall installed. I'm going to uninstall mcafee cause it appears to be screwing up. Then apply winsock crap.

EDIT: An aside: Is AVG better than mcafee?
EDIT2: Just pinged gateway and DNS all good, still no browsing. Being able to hit university sites works only some of the time.

Windows doesn't detect anything wrong with the PC > network > internet path or the network adapter. This is weird.

[Mafai]

maybe the university is having issues, ask someone maybe?

i'd use AVAST

avast! - Download antivirus software for spyware and virus protection

[JigglyJam]

They don't appear to have issues, I called and they'll get back to me on monday. Just the waiting game I guess. I don't want to reformat if I don't have to. Oh well.


Thanks everyone for the help. I appreciate it.

I'm not as techy as some of you people but my roommate and I had just about the same problem you are having, with a couple differences, I couldn't connect to any websites after 2 minutes of being logged in. but MSN/AIM worked perfectly. the only thing that fixed it was a full reinstall from both of us. Probably not the same thing but yeah. just putting my 2cents in.

[Bikpik]

Have you tried running Malware Bytes? Malwarebytes.org I find it works really well.

[Kryssan]

Just by chance, have you run a tracert yet? Does it return anything? Ping's only a useful tool if ICMP is allowed, and most servers block it nowadays.

Have you tried a TCPIP reset with the netsh tool? Run netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt from command prompt and reboot. Check the txt output file and see if anything odd happened.

::1 is just IPv6 for localhost, all it's saying is 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 in shorthand. IPv6 probably isn't even configured on your network, so setting this isn't really going to change anything.


Just out of curiosity, do you have someone that has a NIC you could borrow and throw into your computer? See if changing your hardware has any effect? Or try emulating your laptops MAC address on your other computer and see if it can connect properly then.

[Norellicus]

tracert uses ICMP packets...

Excuse me...

AHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAHAHAHA HAH!
AHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAA...

Ok, now that I've got that out of my system, uninstall that piece of crap. That'll solve your problems.
