some of you guys probably allready knew that my internet connection was down
well, it was not down.. it was there all along i just couldnt get online for some reason...
we have 3 computers connected to a hub and from there into a splitter and from there into the broadband connection thingy...
i used to use some kind of lan connection but something happened and i couldnt go online and yesterday i found a way! using ISP connection.
dont know what that is but it seems to work. well not perfectly..

there are two problems i got...

if one pc is online the other two cant and if i connect our small network as it used to be (lan connection), internet wont work on any of the computers.. but they can all connect to eachother... so something is very not right.

the 2nd problem is: I got a hell lot of Virus crap!!! (on me dads computer.. muhahaha) so does anyone know a good registry cleaner/startup cleaner or something like that?
everytime i open iexplorer it downloads lots of crap and it slows down the computer a lot! so i guess a registry clean should do the trick right?

oh! and i got another problem aswell: i cant acces any ftp webpages, cant logon to MSN messenger, cant logon to FirstClass (which i must because we get homework from school via FC) i cant play Multiplayer games because i cant connect to the server what the hell is wrong?

i will call support later.. er.. tomorrow.. and perhaps they know what i must do but i just felt like telling you guys.

ps. its good to be back online (I ruined my graphics card)

transfer firefox from one of your clean computers to your dad's computer, then download adaware and spybot.

Update both then reboot into safemode and scan.. should be clean sailing after that..

Actually, running online panda scan (online antivirus, fantastic, I might add) after the spyware killers wouldn't hurt

(then do that for all your computers, may fix your networking woes)
