alright,

I ran adaware on my computer and found an amazingly high amount of high risk problems. I quarentined all that was found and automatically deleted everything that was quarentined w/o checking to see if everything still ran properly.(BIG MISTAKE) I tried connecting to the net using a cable modem. It will not allow me to pull up any web page. It gives me a message as if the computer was not online. Can you give me any information that may assist me in the restoration of my internet...without haveing to reboot windows.

THANK YOU

SKY

For Windows 2000, navigate through Control Panel -> Network and Dialup Connections -> Select the network adapter for sharing -> Properties -> Sharing Tab -> Enable Internet connection sharing -> use the name of the TAP-Win32 adapter - > Ok

With Windows XP, instead follow Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Select the network adapter for sharing -> Properties -> Advanced Tab -> Allow other network users -> Use TAP-Win32 Adapter -> Ok
