Howard, I did the last series of tasks, but after rebooting I'm not able to connect to the internet. I called Embarq (used to be sprint) and they helped me get back online but my browser can't find any web pages. I'm using Earthlink. Any ideas what I did wrong?

Did you fix the 017 entry? If so you will need to restore it.

Run HJT and click on the config button, followed by the backups button. Place a tick in the little box next to the 017 entry and click on the retore button. When prompted to restore the enrty, click yes.

See if that helps.

If it doesn`t try reinstalling Earthlink.

Regards Howard
