    PC whizzkids: I need some help!

    I visited a friend of mine today to fix his PC, it was infected with loads of trojans, virii and backdoors so I decided to format the HD and start all over again.

    When I left it was running stable but he just called me and keeps getting "dns errors" when surfing, no matter what site he tries to get (yahoo.com / microsoft.com / google.com) he keeps getting the same error.

    When I left internet worked like sunshine and nothing seemed wrong, can anyone help me out?

          or tell them to run
          nslookup
          it should connect to a dns server dyn/static assigned
          it'll open a prompt, type in a domain like yahoo.com

              do you think resetting the tcp/ip will help? I read some articles about it.

                  resetting it how? disable the ethernet port and reenable it
                  also check and see if the dns servers are setup static or set to dyn assign

                      seeing how dns are setup is run> nslookup right?

                      resetting tcp/ip can be done this way:

                      run> netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

                          type nslookup
                          it should connect to the default dns server either setup or assigned
                          if not it'll give you an error that should help you figure out where the problem is
                          resetting tcpip wont change much, it sounds like a configuration problem, not a protocol error
