Posted August 9, 200816 yr Help! Have been digging deep into wife's computer and am stumped. She is running Windows XP on a Toshiba Satellite. She unfortunately got stuck with Vista Virus 2008 (i think that's what it was) It kept popping up windows and blocking all attempts to remove. I ran Spybot and Ad-Aware and finally SmitfraudFix. Nothing worked so I eventually used system restore to reset the computer to two weeks prior. Since then, however, I have not been able to connect to the internet. We use a wireless router and cable modem and it shows them all connected and other computers in the house are able to connect. When I dug into System Information I see the following message post whenever I open Firefox (default browser) or Internet Explorer: *The IP address lease 192.168.1.100 for the Network Card with network address 0011F5A7854B has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.1.1 (The DHCP Server send a DHCPNACK message).a:* I'm totally lost! From similar questions I can tell you that address is assigned by DHCP Anyone able to solve this? Need more info? All help greatly appreciated...
