ok so i have scanned my computer with mcafee virus scan, noadware 5.0, spybot SD, and stinger yet none have fixed my problem. My connection to my router is fine yet my computer gives me the limited or no connectivity icon. i use ipconfig and i get an ip of 0.0.0.0 i click the lan propertites and click tcp/ip settings then set my ip to some random one 192.168.1.XXX and then it asks for DNS server. How can i find the DNS servers name or is there anyway to fix this problem i have confirmed that it is not my network card because i put in a usb ethernet adapter and got the same problem. Is this a Virus is there anyway to fix this short of wiping the HDD and re-installing XP. also would setting windows settings to default help any. ive already put my computer to the earliest restore point i could. Please help me

Something's wrong with the router connection. It can't be fine if it says you have limited or no connectivity. If this is wireless right-click on your wireless connection icon in the system tray and click repair. This will reset everything on your wireless connection. If you're connected directly to the router make sure your obtain IP address automatically option is picked along with the obtain DNS server addresses automatically.

Set PC TCP/IP to AUTO assign, if it takes 0.0.0.0 that's VERY odd as a default for NO IP assigned is often in the 168.xxx.xxx.xxx range.
If you set a manual IP, can you PING the router ?
Have you checked the Router is sest to assign DHCP addresses ?
Is the cable you are using tested OK ? is it a patch or crossover, MUST be patch for PC to router, look at the 2 ends, cable colours in plugs should match the order of each other.

Under TCP/IP in the connection properties, you want to set both IP and DNS to the automatic option.

the DNS addresses you want are in the router > status > there you will find DNS Addresses you should put in for you r computer if you are doing static ip.

Check the configuration of the router, start by resetting it. Press the pinhole switch on the back for several seconds. then try the connection again.
