A few days ago I had a Trojan and heard that it could make a backdoor for
other viruses to come in the computer, I went and disabled all the things to
do with DNS and IP in services.msc. Then asked someone about it and they
said to enable them because it wasn't a problem. A couple minutes before a
technician at Norton Anti-virus was to take control of the computer the
internet stopped working.
Now let me describe the network setup: I have Wildblue high speed internet,
the WB modem goes to a D-Link wireless router, then to the Windows XP SP 3
computer{which are all downstairs} then a Windows Vista via wireless D-Link
USB adapter{upstairs}.
(If you are still here reading this then here comes the WTF part)
The Windows XP computer can connect to the WB modem and recieve a signal
without any problems but when hooked up this way the one upstairs obviously
has no signal because it need the router to send it the signal. The Windows
XP gets an authentication failed message when connected to the router and
can't renew an IP address yet when I bring the Windows Vista computer
downstairs and connect it through the router(the same way as the Windows XP)
I connect right away.
Any help would be great!
