665787 2008-05-04 10:40:00 Hi all, recently I had a MAJOR infection on my system, and I was only just able to gain control back, after hanging on by the skin of my teeth . Now, after the carnage, many drivers are damaged / missing etc . However the main problem is that it refuses to connect to my wireless network . It finds it, and starts connecting, but after a while just Resets to "Automatic" but is not Connected . It was fine before the attack, other Computers are fine too . Im running XP SP3 on a Linksys WRT54G Router . Any Ideas?

It is quite possible that the OS is too badly damaged and it will have to be Re-installed, but id like to aviod that .

Thanks .

hope that makes sense!

tried reinstalling the wireless network adapter drivers?


(oh, and DO tell how you got XP to run on your router:p)

665790 2008-05-04 20:58:00 Can you connect to your LAN (i.e. using a network cable rather than trying wirelessly)?

If not, it's possible your TCP/IP stack was damaged by the virus. If that's the case, post back and Speedy et al will help you out.

Yes, LAN is fine. I refreshed the Stored Network data. No Luck

What Do you Mean?

Anyway I tried to update the Drivers . . . No Luck . Now it says "disabled" and when I try to enable it it goes "Enabling . . . , Connection Failed!" I've Tried to remove the Drivers Completeley, but it Just Freezes up . In device Manager it states that there are no drivers installed . . . possibly due to corrupted ones from a Virus? Im still getting the odd Adware popup, so if you need a HJT log let me know .

Thanks
