Check through the services by running msconfig, start with the basics like tcp/ip and most importantly DHCP client, cos it's this that deals with your PCs requests for an ip address to be assigned by your router or isp, if you find something not running, start it, if it won't start, go through...
Try updating the firmware in your linksys, a friend has a linksys and brand new out of the box wouldn't work consistently, until the firmware was upgraded. I've got various adaptors and having played around and had all the probs you've had and maybe some more besides I just don't have them any...
I concluded eventually, (after re running ad aware and having no problem) that it was not the culprit, it was one of grc's security utilities, the most likely being the DCOMbobulator which turned off the service, it's one of those things where you think 'I'll know that for next time', but each...
Pheeeww!
While eagerly awaiting you reply, I did a google on afd networking ..blah and found the location of it, in non plug and play devices, in device manager, also looked at netbios over tcp/ip and found it's startup type to be 'disabled'. Lo and behold, dhcp starts!

I've run all the winsock fix and the other utilities mentioned, tcp/ip is working, because I can get net access with a manually configured ip. I have a cable modem running through a netgear router, which is heavily used (many different pcs connected from time to time) with no problems, the...
Ok, I've followed the procedure in the faq, no viruses were found, spy bot found some stuff that ad aware hadn't, and the hijack this log didn't show anything that I didn't recognise as legit, and I still have no dhcp client, any ideas?
Sorry, xp pro, the other one being xp home. I'm assuming this problem is more with the invasive nature of the ad software than the removal software, presumably it trys to cause a pc to cling on to the same ip address or something.
Thanks in anticipation! I've found SO many articles/threads on...
Hi Guys
I have had my dhcp client stopped by running Ad Aware,
I have a router which is a dhcp server, I can get internet access by manually choosing an ip address, but not full connectivity.
The dhcp client service shows as stopped, and attempting to restart it fails with error 1068 the...
