I have a unusual network problem. I know that the hardware is working because I can ping the local network and any known IP address. But this computer will not connect to any shares, or any Internet URL. You cannot ping a URL (example: www.yahoo.com). This started after removing some viruses and I am hoping that someone can help me get this computer back up without having to purge the drive and installing everything. Deleting and reinstalling all of the hardware didn't help.

Sounds like a Winsox problem.

Do a search here in these forums and the Security forum for several fixes.

Use ipconfig/all on the command line (DOS Window) to see if you have any DNS servers assigned. DNS basically "translates" URLs into IP addresses. Try to ping the DNS servers if any show up.

Check your DNS servers or contact your nw admin to see if there is a proxy server that needs to be set.
