Thanks Chewy,
I'm at work right now. I'll try those steps when I get home. Your comment about the rootkit worries me.  Should I run an anti-rootkit thingie before trying this? I would hate to have to deal with a bsod.

This is becoming a Pandora's Box for you Chewy. How do I check my Host files?
 I do have ZoneAlarm...how did you know that? [edit] Actually I should probably research that myself, shouldn't I?

QUOTE(DocSatan @ Apr 26 2008, 06:43 AM)  How do I check my Host files? If you have not changed the windows host file you should make sure it is not corrupted. You may find HOSTS file in this folder: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc Right click HOSTS, select Open, select Notepad to open the file. Windows original Host file should be like this: QUOTE # Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost If you see additional lines you may want to restore the original host file. Let us know if anything odd is there. |

Hey farbar,
Checked the Hosts. After "127.0.0.1 localhost" there is about an eleventy million additional lines!!!  QUOTE # Start of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy # This list is Copyright 2000-2008 Safer Networking Limited followed by the eleventy million entries all starting with 127.0.0.1 QUOTE # End of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy Are these cool, since it says Spybot - S&D? -------------------- All Other Things Being Equal, The Simplest Solution Is The Best.

Tried the device manger instructions for network adapters.
When you had me check the "connect using" by right clicking on one of the connections I saw that it said nVidia. When I tried your instructions, the nVidia one couldn't connect. So I right clicked on all of the connections....each one had it's own name in the "connect using" box. Did I follow your instructions wrong? Anyway, I re-enabled one of the "1394 Net Adapter" and I got connected to the internet. So I have the nVidia nForce Networking Controller and one of the 1394 Net Adapter connected. -------------------- All Other Things Being Equal, The Simplest Solution Is The Best.

whatever works, I try to stay away from nforce myself, nvidia has some screwy drivers, they have a habit of beta testing on the public enthusiast market
Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller make sure you have the latest driver and try this one, it should be the only other ethernet connection -------------------- |

QUOTE(DocSatan @ Apr 25 2008, 02:35 PM) Hi guys, I've been having to "Repair" my internet connection every time I start my PC. Sometimes the "Repair" fails "TCP/IP is not enabled." I then have to renew my IP using the cmd release and then renew. It used to happen once and a great while, but recently it's been happening each time I start my PC. I also notice that my desktop is taking longer to load as well. Any ideas why? My OS is XP Home. I ran Winsockxpfix and Winsock2fix and when I try to back up my Registry I get failure notices stating "error saving file." Since I can't seem to back up the registry I opted not to continue. I've run a2, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware and SAS and they all find nothing. I checked my HJT Log and didn't find anything suspicious. Any Suggestions? I have recently installed STEAM in order to play Team Fortress2. I removed Steam from Startup via Spybot S&D. Do you think this has anything to do with it? It could be that the fixes you do are temporarily because the changes won't save to registry. It is just a hypothesis but it it doesn't hurt to try: 1. Download REG File Association Fix unzip and apply it. 2. Check if you can backup your registry. if yes move on to the next step. 2. Perform the repair, IP release, renew and flushdsn then reboot. |

Is being able to create a Restore Point the same as Backing Up the Registry?

No it is not the same thing.
An alternative: Go to start > Control Panel > Folder Options > File types > under Extensions check if you have REG. You can create the file association from there. But check first. |
