No networking

Heres one,

I have 2 PC's connected via a broadband router but for some reason only 1 PC
can see the network. Everything was working fine until I installed McAffee.
It carried out a search but I accidentally had it set to automatic clean.
Since then the other PC cannot see a network connection and cannot even open
up the routers IP. The router cannot see the computer either even though the
router has a light indicating that everything is connected properly.There is
an error message each time I satrt up the computer
C:\Program~1/newdot~1/newdot~1.dll aswell.

Any suggestions.

Suggestion 1 -- Look at the groups you post to and pick *one*, not
six that are barely relevant.

Suggestion 2 -- When something works, then you install something and
the first something stops working, it's likely the second something
you need to uninstall or fix.

mcafee what? if its got internet security, it's probably blocked your ports,
so you would not be able to ping the machine from the router.
Disable mcafee and see if you can connect, if you can then you need to set
mcafee to trust the network card.

If McAfee included a firewall, then that may be blocking the traffic?

What did it find and clean? (check the logs and quarantine)

Think firewall...

Ah, bloody NewDotNet, a wretched commercial malware that "extends the
Internat namespace" to include the pseudo-domains they sell. If the
removal of that is botched, it kills 'net access at the Winsock level.

Use Google to research that, and check out the various Winsock repair
tools such as LSPView (Layered Socket Provider - the level at which
NewDotNet intrudes). This IS fixable, but not easy... can you do a
System Restore rollback to before McAfee "fixed" this?
