Getting a valid IP, but cannot ping anything Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 8:29 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by OSC (2 messages posted) Was getting a TON of pop-ups, so ran adaware whcih stopped the pop-ups, but now I cannot get to the internet. So I tried pinging my ISP's default gateway and their DHCP server; both result in "Request timed out". Called Comcast, and they everything is good from their end. So I took the machine to my office and I'm getting a valid IP from my router, but cannot ping the router or anything else on the network. The PC had a couple of trojans which NAV Corporate Edition removed, so I have up to date virus defs. In addition to running adaware and finding 251 objects and removing them, I tried new NIC, uninstalling and reinstalling TCP/IP, uninstalling and reinstalling the Communications component through Control Panel, deleting the Winsock entries, updating to W98 SE, ran Regclean, ran the LSP fix, ran the Shredder (removed a variant of the CWS parasite), ran HijackThis! which turned up a clean logfile. This PC had Cyber Patrol and Zone Alarm installed on it which was removed some time ago, but I found a bunch of threads in the registry that still references these programs. I removed them, but I'm sure there's still some references to them in the CLSID keys in the registry. (?) Any thoughts? Comments???
