I did a system restore on my hp dv6000 laptop. My Norton virus scan had just ran out and I got a virus that blocked access to internet explorer and ctrl-alt-del. The system restore only went back 3 days but when completed, I cannot access the internet through any means.
You may have to reinstall the drivers again for it. If the virus infected those files a system restore might not have overwritten them.
The laptop didn't come with any driver discs and I am a computer illiterate. How do I reinstall drivers without discs?Quote:

Try rebooting your modem / network device. Then turn your laptop on to connect.
Tried that too, still no change.
Ok, Did you try going to internet explorer and try to go to a website. It should give you the option when it fails to repair the connection.
Yes, it runs it's diagnostic and says to call my ISP. I called the ISP, they say the evidence that it's not their network is that other computers are working on it.
Are you using that connection now? Did you receive a disk from your isp? You might have to install that also by creating a network connection.Quote:

Your welcome.
Ok, tried that, still no change. Do you think that downloading a new version of the drivers onto another computer and then x-ferring them to the broken one might work?
No that wouldn't be a good idea. When you try to connect wireless does it show up as a network?
Yes but it says unidentified network and in the network and sharing center it only connects to modem not to internet
