Can't connect to internet, registry files missing

In fact, you really needed to run a full scan with GetLogs.bat after that fix to properly see what changes if any were made.

Now run C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat by double-clicking it.
This updates all of the logs inside MGlogs.zip.
When it is finished, attach C:\MGlogs.zip to your next message

 

The permissions changes did not work as I expected since it is not being changed properly. As I stated earlier, first ownership needs to be taken and then Full Permissions of Everyone can be made. Then and ONLY then can you import into the LEGACY keys. I'm not sure this is the whole reason for you inability to connect, but the registry entries need to be fixed inorder to know for sure.

 

Okay first we need to save a new registry patch to your Desktop.

Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixserv.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files". Once you have saved it don't do anything else with it right now. Just move on to the next instructions.

Now please click Start, and type regedit into the Run box and click OK. This should open the Windows Registry Editor should open up.


Now follow the below instructions for changing permissions for registry keys using Regedit.

• First navigate to the below registry key and have it selected
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_NETBT\0000\Control
• Then right click on this key and select Permissions
• Then on the Permissions for Control for click the Add button
• In the Enter the object names to select box type Everyone and click the Check Names button which should cause the Everyone text to be approved and underlined
• Then click the OK button which returns you to the Permissions for Control form
• Make sure you select Everyone from the upper list, and then in the Permissions form Everyone box, select Full Control and see if it allows you to click the Apply button.
• Then click OK to control this Permissions for Control form
• Now repeat the above for the below key
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_DHCP\0000
• Now on the Registry Editor menu, click File and select Import.
• Navigate to the fixserv.reg file we saved to your Desktop and select it and click OK ( double clicking on the file should also auto select it to import )
• Did it import without an error message?
  • If not, then stop and tell me
  • If yes, then continue.

Reboot your PC and after reboot continue.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).


Then attach the below logs:

• C:\MGlogs.zip

 

I had to edit my last message to add a couple items so please re-create the registry patch if you already started and see the instructions again because I added another key to the permissions fix.

6. Then attach the below logs:
   • C:\MGlogs.zip

​

 

Just continue. Many services/startups could have problems during this procedure.

 

Also if you see this before finishing, I just updated MGtools and instead of running the GetLogs program to get a new log, I would like you to do the below

Now download the current version of MGtools and save it to your root folder. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

Run MGtools.exe ( Note: If using Vista or Win7, make sure UAC is still disabled. Also don't double click on it, use right click and select Run As Administrator )

Now attach the below log:

• C:\MGlogs.zip

​

 

Yes and nwktst.txt already shows that ping by IP and by URL are working so there is full network connectivity.

 

You're welcome. thisisu will give you final instructions now.
