559134	2007-06-16 20:26:00	Hello again Now I lost all connection. I can ping the router/modem ok. Have deinstalled the network card and reinstalled -no difference. I can not ping the own ip nor the ip from the wireless machine. Also I can not see the router in the network connections. If I type ip config in the prompt window I get one line with a question mark. Also I had to clear some stuff like hidn.exe, m-hook.sys and drv_st_key which I obviously got in at some stage. From this machine which is on a wireless connection to the same router all works perfect. I desperatly need some suggestions. Thanks NT	notechyet (4479)

559138	2007-06-16 21:14:00	In cmd prompt type - netsh winsock reset catalog Enter and restart computer Thanks Done that-no success. Something that confuses me is that when I type in ipconfig, I get a strange thing: first line ip address: that's ok second line subnett: that's ok then again ip address: with a question mark then default gateway: that's ok Somewhere there must be a persisting setting, which is obviously wrong to create that question mark	notechyet (4479)
559139	2007-06-16 21:18:00	solutions: well my suggestion is not going to take you more than an hour and a half from start to finish and it'll leave your system intact (repair install) I'd be trying it anyway....	drcspy (146)

You can print a text version for reference . repair . txt 1 . Boot the computer using the XP CD . You may need to change the boot order in the system BIOS so the CD boots before the hard drive .

Is this not frustrating, as it works right now again, still I can't see the router in the network connections. And the question mark in the ipconfig is still there. I will most likely go to your next suggestion as I spend way more hours then what a repair install would take. Say, with e repair install would I have to reinstall all the fixes and windows updates and so on after the SP2(as I got that CD), or not? Thanks DRCSPY NT	notechyet (4479)
