ICS connection problems

[walther91]

Hello everybody, i have purchased a ps2 network adapter a while back and set up a small home/office connection so that my ps2 could access the internet through a cross over cable in order for me to be able to play online games. This was successful and it worked perfectly with no problems. Then my pc got a virus which resulted in me having to reboot and wipe everything off my pc (MESH XP HOME EDITION). After rebooting my pc and loading everything back on i tried to remake the small home/office ICS connection using the windows networking wizard, this failed saying that a problem occured during configuration(at this point my internet was up and running and everything was going well). I tried MESH helpline but as usual they were no help at all, i tried sony but they couldnt help, i tried BT broadband elp...NO HELP. I went on device manager and noticed that my network adapters were working. In other devices in device manager it showed ethernet controls with a question mark next to them and asked if i wanted to install, HOW CAN I INSTALL THEM I HAVE NO CD OR SOFTWARE I KNOW OF. im sorry if it isnt in all technical terms but im still fairly new at this, i hope this is enough information for you to be able to help. Hope to se a response soon,

Jack Wood.

Check your firewall settings.

I had a look at my firewall settings and they were fine,its my ethernet controls which have been disabled, i checked this on device manager. Mess did get round to contacting me and sent me some software unfortunatly it says when i try to install it, "this application cannot be used on a ms-dos..." or something like that. Do you have any ideas on how i can allow it to be accepted?
Thank you for your replies.

Thank you for your replies.

Were you running this from Windows? What was it called, mybe we can tckle it another way.

yes,i use windows xp,mesh sent me 2 pieces of software i can use, "VIA 4IN1 & BCM4SBXP", Mesh instructed me to install VIA 4IN1 using the windows install wizard, a window then pops up saying, "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Chose 'close' to terminate the application." It then gives me an option of 'close' and 'ignore', i have tried both of these but end up with the window closing and no progress. I hope this is what you were asking for, thank you for your response and assistance.

Travel to MS's site and do a search on repairing/replacing your autoexec.nt file.
It's possible the virus you had effected this file.
After you repair it remove the VIA 4 in 1 drivers in Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager...
Do a clean boot and re-install those drivers.
