    lost internet connection

    My kids PC is dell dimension 2350:
    Win2k op
    2 ghz pent4
    128 mg ram
    40 gig hd
    cable internet

    has spyware/adware issues. Have cleaned them up.
    Spybot 1.3/adaware
    no internet though.
    trying to load avg antivirus. tough to do without internet.
    tried winsock fix.
    no help!

    also

    have tried both ethernet and wireless.
    tried uninstall/install of network adapters...no good
    uninstall/install tcp/ip...no good
    static ip...no good
    loopback ping works.
    ping to router is not reachable.
    ipconfig says "cable disconnected"

    seems like socket is corrupt. have winsock disk to repair WinXP connection and it runs but still no connection.

    dont really want to reinstall win2k!

    allow me to reply to myself!
    i was able to remove the ethernet network adapter (Broadcom) and then uninstalled/installed TCP/IP and i still cannot believe it but it worked, but i can now get hardwired connection.
    I loaded AVG and detected and removed 16 virus and more spyware/adware.

    Now i am trying to get linksys WUSB11 wireless adapter to work. This is what they have and will use to connect to internet. Did the same drill removed/installed adapter...etc and get message that "network cable is unplugged"?
