Last view: 229 days 		My friend recently caught a virus on his dell laptop. He can't go on the internet anymore, and the connection isn't receiving enough packets. He got rid of the virus, but it's happened before. Last time it took a month of trying to connect before it recovered. Is there any way to fix this? He's running windows XP SP3.

What do you mean by "not enough packets"? Are some of them being dropped?

Anything with the IP settings, perhaps? (For instance, if a fixed IP was allocated but it's not in the network's range, or there is a DHCP present...)

Last view: 229 days 		It doesn't work on any networks, wired or wireless, even though it's configured correctly (Following the other people that have this problem.) I think it's a common problem with Dell laptops running Windows XP.
