    I recently was infected with some adware and a trojan. I lost my internet connectivity at the same time. I sucessfully removed the bugs from the PC, but I still cannot connect to the net. I am getting the error message that a new IP cannot be created.

    I have done all the normal things, winsocket, XP tools, registry clean, the whole bit, but nothing has helped. Is it possible the virus ruined the network card? Should I re-install IE? Please help

    This is a Dell 3000, desk top. Nothing fancy about the computer.
