Unable to get internet connection

Bumblebee Tuna · 05-10-2005, 05:32 PM

I've ran a hijackthis log, and removed the offending stuff. Now I still can't get connected. I also can not get an ip address. I've checked the services, and the DHCP does not start in safe mode. I get an error message stating, 'Error 1086: The dependancy service or group failed to start.' It looks as though that if I'm not in safe mode, the DHCP Client starts and runs. I don't want to connect to the internet cause I'll infect my other PC's.
I know this guy had the blaster virus on his PC, and I removed it, and thrown in the patch. But I don't know what else to do.

Don't worry about this one, I managed to find the answer on microsofts website. For those who read this and don't know, this is the answer

Well, it worked for me

I was doing a little checking, it looks like it's caused at times by Symantec. Why? I don't know, but there's another reason why I don't like Norton. lol

Probably nortons firewall settings, I'm not a big fan of norton either.
