Windows 2000 pro, no access to the internet but can see the network after virus removal

How about installing firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/) and see if the problem still occurs. You could always reinstall SP4, which *should* effectively reinstall IE and fix whatever is currently broken.

Hope this helps

I did reinstall SP4 a few time; it did not help. , I will try Mozilla firefox tomorrow.

Thanks

Ouch, reinstall of SP4 didn't help.....Hmmm. Did you scan for viruses and spyware? May need to boot into safe mode to run these for best results. I don't think i've ever tried this, but while booted into safe mode with networking; see if you can access internet. Run hijackthis and look for suspicious stuff as well.

I would also try disabling all firewalls/anti-virus/anti-spyware programs. I've seen problems with firewalls and Norton that interfere more than they should.

Otherwise you could also try a repair of the installation. Boot from the 2000 CD and choose repair during setup. Man, if that don't work....

*Don't forget to make backups....just in case

I did load and run spybot, there is no firewall and Mcafee is disabled. I did run Hijackthis and got rid of the suspicious stuff.  I did a SFC, same problem and then I did a repair from the Window 2000 disk.  This is why I am scraching my head.

Thanks
