Invalid IP Address

[Trintar VIII]

Hi all...I scanned the first page to see that something like this wasn't on here already (my apologies if it is), but I'll get right to the point. I was on the internet earlier today when suddenly I couldn't load any pages and Messenger booted me. I tried to reconnect and the Messenger troubleshooter program says that I do not have a valid IP address. Sometimes, however, it says my IP address is fine and the gateway isn't working. I ran Spybot with a few things, got rid of the spyware and then it still didn't fix it...I'm currently scanning with Avast! and will post those results up as well...I'm familiar with Ewido and HiJackThis!, but I'm not sure if there's something else I need to know. If someone can help, that'd be great. Thanks in advance,

Trintar VIII

I did all of that, but I'm still geting the invalid IP address error and cannot get online yet (I'm on a friend's computer to post this). Is there anything else that could be causing the problem?

 

[howard_hopkinso]

I`m not sure what`s causing your problem.

But I don`t think it`s virus/spyware related.

I suggest you open a new thread for your problem in our storage and networking forum.

first, see this recommendataion

old connection data is stored in the Registry.
disconnect your system from the net, and then run REGEDIT or REGEDT32 and go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces​

the JPG attachment shows the Paramater\Interfaces (specifically on mine, yours will be different)

EXPLORE each one of them, look for keys with non-zero, real IP info
keys like

1. DhcpDefaultGateway
2. DhcpIpAddress
3. DhcpNameServer
4. DhcpServer

delete the ip info and insert 0

these have just numbers, so just reset them to zero also

1. Lease
2. LeaseObtainTime
3. LeaseTerminatesTime

set EnableDHCP=1 & EnableDeadGWDetect=0

reboot the system and after the disk quiets down, plug-in the ethernet cable
