first things first...just as a test, disable the connection 2 and reboot.

You have no gateway on 2 so that connection is not getting anywhere.

What is the nature of this multihomed machine? Is it a router? Server? Why the two connections?

Your number two connection is a network of one, meaning that the only things it can talk to is itself--and a pretty funky IP at that.

Not a private ipaddress..in fact, it looks like an AOL root address. Very....strange

Ok, I disabled Connection 2. I use a router to connect this PC and my old PC to my DSL Connection.

[gerryf]

OK, reboot, and can you get on the internet now?

If not, Ping your router/gateway

start > run
cmd
enter

type
ping 192.168.0.1

what do you see?

[sherlock holmes]

I rebooted and it still didn't work.

hm, you have name resoluton

neat

OK,

start > run
cmd
enter

type
netsh winsock reset catalog
enter

reboot

anything?

[gerryf]

should probably mention what that does....

in service pack two, it reinstalls the winsock defaults, fixing corrupt ip stacks.

only works in sp2

[sherlock holmes]

It didn't work but my settings in the Network Connections Page look similar to those that I had before I installed Service Pack 2.

[gerryf]

but it looks like it is working....you have connectivity, name resolution, working ipstack.....

very odd...

[gerryf]

give me a hijackthis log so I can see what software you are running

[sherlock holmes]

Yeah it was working fine yesterday and then all of a sudden it just disconnected. It works fine in safe mode though.

Here's the log:

[gerryf]

well, I see 3 likely malware programs and I am wondering about Norton Internet Security, specifically, the SymProxy service.

If that had tanked, it would result in the problems you are seeing.

I would do two things

Please go to the malware forum in my signature and follow the instructions at the top....Especially the CLICK HERE .

That will give you several steps that will help you clean up 70 percent of all problems by yourself. If at the end of the process you are still having difficulty--and you may not be-- then post a hijackthis log in THAT forum.

If you are still having problems after getting a clean bill of health from the malware expert, please return to this thread.

then, I would temporarily disable NIS (think you can right click the icon in the system trade and check DISABLE).

See if you can connect then
