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

lol of course i am sure the internet connection is shared lol,

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

Sorry to underestimate you bagofcrap
