my younger brother was messing around with our family PC and now i cannot connect to the internet from my pc,
USB Modem -------- Family PC -------Crossover Cable ------ My PC
the "family PC" can connect and use the internet
but for some reason "my PC" cannot browse the internet
I can access the "shared documents" on the "Family PC" from "My PC"
And i can use the shared Printer
But not the internet,
the only thing that i doesnt add up is
On "My PC" if i right click on "my network places" and click on "Search for Computers" it finds both "My PC" and "Family PC" but if i do the same thing on the "Family PC" it doesnt find anything and the search bar just keeps going and going forever.
any ideas, i think it may have something to do with winsocks because when i tried updating kaspersky it just kept saying failed to connect, cannot open socket.

Hey bagofcrap24!
Are you sure your internet connection is shared on the family PC? Blue |

i am not that noobish i figured out the problem lol, for some reason kaspersky antivirus seemed to not let me use any network services, i even disabled and exited it but it still didnt work, once i uninstalled it things ran as usual |
