Reinstalled windows, can't get online
« on: August 17, 2010, 05:42:40 AM »

Long story short, I had a virus, so I reinstall windows,and ow after the install and installing a few drivers I cannot by any means get that computer connected to the internet again.


the only thing that would havechanged would be the MAC address since I used a custom one before the reinstall.

I can however access shared files on the other computers on my network, but can't get it online.

the notification icon says im connected, and also I do have an IP.  Now I changed the MAC address back to what it was before according to the reservation list on the router, but it doesnt get assigned the ip I reserve for it....and I can't seem to get rid of the reservation now either. I also can't access the router admin pages from the computer thats "broken".

Anyone experience this before?

ok, this was all stupidity and poor memory. 2 words....

Network Filter......

With the MAC address change that computer wasn't allowed to access the net because it wasn't on the list of computers to allow.
