    spent half the day trying to get brothers broadband connection up and running again

    he ran into a problem with some virus emanating from a poker site and since then no broadband

    numerous virus scan since and no more viruses detected

    pc shows limited or no connectivity,

    its not the modem because he can connect to xbox live

    tried repair option but pc says cannot renew ip address

    typed ipconfig in command prompt, the black screen appeared briefly ( flicker) and then went

    when i click on internet explorer the search bar shows connecting to some spurious site

    im thinking now it may have been a dialer type virus/trogan which has changed registry entries etc and which is trying to redirect the browser to whatever dodgy site that has been installed

    tried system restore but still same

    anybody?

    start - run - cmd
    then use ipconfig /all

    hmm, the title is a bit misleading!!

    Goto trendmicro. They have an online pc checker. That should fix it. I had an issue like that before. I had to edit around 100+ details in the registry. Try restarting the pc in safe mode with networking. If that works, then its just a prog in the startup. (start-run-msconfig)
