So, I used Malwarebytes' program to remove the AntivirXP 08 virus. I also ran the SuperAntispyware program I seem to have the program/virus removed, but I have networking issues now.
I couldn't ping my router (all Firewalls off). I Tried release/renew. At this point I have basically a "media disconnected" situation (it said it was unable to contact my DHCP server - I also tried to remove the Router passwords and security with the Firewalls down and rebooting but still nada). I also tried turning the Router off (lynkses) for 2 min, and rebooting the Laptop (where this issue is) a few times to no avail.
I run Pc'illin and Zone Alarm.
At this point I have a "disconnected" state with IP address and subnet mask of 0.0.0.0 and a whole lot of frustration. I have treid everything that has worked for me in the past and am stuck. Any help for me ??
Okay, After a sustained period of being off my laptop now has: no DNS suffix, IP address of 169.254.23.152, Subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, and no default gateway. If I try and ping my router I get a "host not rechable" message.
What is going on here? Is this the laptop? Or the Router? I can get online with the (wired) main computer. Any one have some advice for me?
