Yes. It's the same computer, network card, ISP
everything. The only thing that's changed since the last
time it was plugged in was I removed several adware
programs and files, along with virus files and other
suspicious files, and then a massive windows update.
Like I said, I may have gotten a little 'delete-happy'
but I'm really not sure. I've now tried restoring the
system using sysem restore to various points throughout
the process, but to no avail.

There is no 'cable unplugged' message in the task bar,
and the Network Connection displays 'Enabled.'

When I tried to ping 127.0.0.1, I received a reply along
the lines of 'bytes = 32 time.... etc' 4 times But when
I tried to ping the 160.33.26.10, it produced 'Unable to
ping requested address' or something like that 4 times.
And when trying to ping sony.com, it simply said
something like 'I dont recognize that' only once.

Thanks for your help thus far.
