Title: Cant connect to internet wired or wireless
Post by: otanswell on Tuesday, February 21, 2012, 12:37:10
Hi guys

Friends PC had really bad malware on it - I have since removed this but I am now not able to connect to the net either wired or wirless.

I have done ipconfig and it says media is disconnected.
It finds wireless network, tries to connect then says its not in range.
However I am on the laptop next to it and it is connecting fine.

Any ideas?

Cheers
