Ok I had a bad virus infection on my desktop computer, I couldn’t get rid of it with Anti-Virus programs so I decided to just format my computer with my WinXP SP2 disk. The internet worked fine, but slow on account of the virus, before I formatted my desktop. I also have a Labtop that I’ve formatted because it was getting slow and needed it, but now after the clean sweep the internet no longer works for the desktop. My setup was: Internet ~ Modem ~ Router ~ Computer(s) wired and wireless. I Have the two computers hooked up to the router via cable, the labtop and the Desktop and My Nintendo Wii through a wireless connection. So after the sweep using this same setup the internet works fine with everything except the Desktop. So I’ve tried doing the standard powering down for 60 seconds on each level before hooking up the next(turn off everything then turn on the modem, wait 60sec, turn on the router, wait 60sec, turn on the PC)… Nothing. I’ve tried hooking the desktop up directly to the modem… Nothing. I can’t doing anything with Network COnnections because the Broadband connection doesn’t even show up, I don’t mean it says disabled, I mean it isn’t even there. The Network Connections folder is empty. I’m out of ideas, any help would be greatly appreciated.
