Re: Can't Ping My Own IP Address - Part 2

Chuck,

I did run all the steps the first time you asked but I just ran all of
them again and the problem remains. BTW, step #3 (the Winsock2-Fix
program) does not run on XP so I just skipped it and went on. If one
of the steps did not reboot automatically, I manually rebooted the
machine to make sure that the machine got rebooted after each step.

I'm not sure what you mean by posting my email address openly on
Usenet. I have not typed it into any message or reply and my email
address that appears at the top of the messages has been mangled so it
is not valid. Is there something else I need to be doing?

Also, I wanted to point out that at the time that this New.net
infection happened, I had both AdAware and Symantec AntiVirus running
on this machine so if it got infected somehow at that time, it also got
by both of these programs. There also seems to be something that
AdAware does not catch because I get an ad popup everytime I run IE on
the infected system. The ad only seems to come up once when I first
start IE but it does come up every time I start it. Right now, neither
AdAware nor NAV is installed on the problem machine (I don't want to
mess with the configuration while you're trying to diagnose this).

One other datapoint that might be relevant... All this time I had a
shared folder that resides on my good machine and was mapped on the bad
machine. I had been using this folder to transfer information back and
forth. This connection was broken after I ran the LSP-Fix program this
time and I have not been able to reconnect it.
