Re: Need someone smart
It's hard to tell what's going on. If you don't have a cmd prompt I sort of doubt the computer is "clean"... Perhaps a virus got into the MBR of the hard drive and a reinstall didn't remove it.
Typically, if the OS can't stay connceted to a network over a series of interfaces the network stack within the OS is corrupt somehow. I've never heard of this happening on a fresh install.
Because of the strange cmd problem I would suggest doing a completely clean install. Start with a HDD that's had all zeros written to it. I use Hitachi DFT for this purpose. It can overwrite the MBR of the HDD also.
Good luck.
