Wireless DNS problem

[doxman]

Hi frends,

I have Windows Vista on a Dell Inspiron e1705 with Dell 1390 wireless minicard on the system. I'm having problems in the internet connection. I can connect to the internet but after a certain time ( 45 min.s or so ) I can't open pages on Interent explorer 7 or any Firefox or whatever browser I use. It says that the page can't be displayed but still I can see on the system tray that it shows there is interet connection ( no "limited connectivity" ),,, If I dont sign out of windows live messenger before that problem occur, then I'm still able to use the windows live messenger and still have conversations. And one thing, my downloads are still in process,,, the files are still getting downloaded. But I can't surf any page. it says, There is a DNS error ,, after a certain time interval,,, like 15 - 20 minutes ,, the connection goes fine again,,,and then again comes the problem,, it goes around and around ,,, do you guyz have any idea about this?.. please help me out guyz...

thank you so much.

you may have a virus or spyware

post a hjt log

HIJACK THIS:

Download and copy hijackthis to its own folder , it makes backups so keeping them separate and available can be useful.
SO DO NOT put hjt onto the desktop or temp files.

create a directory say my documents/hjt

Note the Spyware tools websites are very often under attack and so I have provided more than 1 location to download from:

i have asked for the post to be moved to the secruity forum for a guru to check - only people with shields next to thier names are allowed to check HJT logs on this forum.

If you download HJT from here, you'll get the latest version and it'll automatically install into it's own folder. HijackThis 2.00.2 direct download.

thanks JohnWill I will update my text too,

That's the current owner of the HJT program, so it should be current. I've never had any issues downloading from there, and since it's a major AV company, I suspect they' don't get knocked off the air too often.
