I'm not sure if I have a virus, but as of
yesterday I am unable to connect to the
internet with my PC. When I start the
computer, Netscape, IE and any other
internet apps dont work, and quit, giving me an error message; "...has caused an error in <unknown>" . I have a router and run a mac and PC off it. The mac is working fine still. I can't connect to the router from the PC with telnet either. I have checked my hardware for any possible problems with the connect and
there don't seem to be any. I don't think it
is simply a problem connecting to the
internet, because the web browsers wont
even load up.
Any help with this problem would be most
appreciated. Thanks,

Al

I found this link:

P.S. Also make sure the connections are snug. It could just be a cable problem.

Hey,
thanks a lot, I think you have discovered
the problem. I forgot to mention that I have
been using a system optimiser program
recently which seems to be having bad
effects. I think I have the same problem
as the dude in the post you sent. Now that
I know what I am dealing with it will be a
lot easier to fix,

thanks again,

Al

Hmm, I have tried a few different things
now. I uninstalled my ethernet driver and
then reconfigured it many times. I then
re-instally windows, it didnt seem to help.
After that I removed one of the ports from
the System profile in the control panels,
with the intention of reinstalling it. This
didnt help either and caused the
computer to crash and not start up. I
reinstalled windows again and still have
no luck with connecting to the internet. I
get the feeling that the physical
connection is fine, because i can still
connect to a thing called the KAD network
on emule, and I can also send error
reports to microsoft (apparently). All other
apps which I try to connect to the internet
(FTP, games, browsers, telnet) all get
errors in "unknown" or crash when I load
them. Any more suggestions would be
very helpful. Thanks,

Al

al_harry,

Why not go to the KAD network
on emule expert forum?

Here is a link:
