Hi, have been trying to help a friend of mine resolve an Internet
connection issue.He is running XP with SP2 and connects to the net
via AOL using an Ethernet cable and a Belkin router.All was fine
until last Wednesday when he couldn't access the net. I have had a
look at the PC and notice that the system is trying to access an IP
address. Have been through 2 very unhelpful phone calls with AOL
Technical backup the end result being that they can see the router
but what ever we try we cannot change the IP Address.Their diagnoses
of the problem is that there are corrupt files preventing the
connection being made however they couldn't tell me what these
corrupt files might be or how to fix the issue. Does anybody know what I
might try next ?
If any more information needed please let me know and TIA

WHAT IP address?

He may have a bit of malware that's trying to contact the mother ship and
forward all his sekret stuff.
