LocalHost ping fails after removing spyware

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi all,
My wife had several nasty pieces of Spyware (mostly Coolweb if I recall) at
last check, and it took about 4 separate apps to remove all traces. Now the
box no longer has no internet connectivity (connecting via DLink Wireless
router to Cable modem). I'm actually cabled into the router rather than
running it on wireless.

Here's what I tried:
Opened IE and got a 404. Clicked Detect Settings. Same result.
Checked the light on the Ethernet jack - it was lit.
Checked the Device Manager, no errors on the adapter.
Pinged Default Gateway. Echo returned successful reply.
Pinged Loopback. Echo returned successful reply.
Pinged Localhost (192.168.0.6). Reply failed.
Ipconfig /all turns up Node type = Unknown ; IP Routing Enabled= No

Actions took:
Ipconfig /release
Ipconfig /renew [IP address stayed the same, result of pings stayed the same)
Opened network diagnostic troubleshooter - ran test; received this error:

Network Adapters [00000001] DAVICOM 9102/A PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter FAILED

Attempted rolling back network adapter (Davicom 9102 integrated Ethernet on
Soyo mb) driver. Restarted machine. Same result.
Attempted downloading updated driver and updating. Same result.
Attempted resetting the default TCP/IP settings per netsh command, using
example in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357/. Same
result.

I'm at the end of my knowledge here. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!
