I have an odd thing...I have a business' PC where they had Spyware/Virus problems in the past. The PC is now cleaned of spyware and viruses and Win 2000 w/SP3 has been reinstalled. However, here what's happening... - When system was first put on the network (Business DSL), popups and junk came up...since cleaned, but now on reboot no Internet. - I checked the machine and thought ok Winsock/TCPIP destroyed...removed and reinstalled both and voila...Internet. - Updated Anti Virus and Spyware and reboot....bang...no Internet. - Pulled up browser and put in router ip...cannot connect. However... - I can ping to router fine...it sees it. Matter of fact, I can ping outside the router (IE www.google.com) - IPCONFIG shows router's address in gateway and DHCP is working (PC has address). - Dynamic IP setup..pretty straight forward. - Also, cannot set up network printer...can't find other PC (Swapped cable on nearby other PC and can see network printer and has Internet all the time). What gives?

Possibly the "about blank" homepage hijacker?

Checked out the "about blank" hijacker..no files are running associated with it. HijackThis shows nothing remotely evil running. TrojanHunter comes back clean. I have the machine back at my "lab". I run the PC through my router using a proxy. Even configuring the proxy settings will not get me to the Internet. Anything else?
