Not able to connect to most sites - or servers for AV update

[Yogi138]

Hi,

I was having moderate malware problems ("System integrity wizard" and "888toolbar") with no real loss of performance - until I stopped being able to connect to most sites.

The scenario is like this:
I have my computer connected to a home network via RF.
On my computer I can only access some pages (Like Hotmail and my homepage - some links in it don't work) - Most other servers cannot be reached (Like Google or Gmail) and I also can't update any of my AV or Anti-Spyware programs.

When using the internet connection on the main server-computer in my house everything runs well - so it's not the connection/ISP ...



I run Outpost firewall (recently installed) and I think I oblitirated most malware on my computer already (With Spybot, a^2, Spysweeper, Adaware, Spybot, Xesosoft and Avast ... Also I removed the 2 "System integrity" enteries with HiJackThis ....
:fear:

Here is my current HJT log:

P.S.

I tried shutting off my firewall, moving IE into "Trusted applications" and adding "Google" to "Trusted sites" - no improvement ....

[Yogi138]

I seemed to have solved the problem ...

My WiFi network DNS option was set to "Auto detect" - I fed in the DNS address listed in the server computer and everything seems to be resolved ...


Hope this helps others ...

Thanks for being here ...
