Hello all! First time poster here...    =)

I removed a bunch of spyware and now cannot browse the Internet using IE or Firefox. It began as not being able to see HTTPS sites despite all troubleshooting. When Win XP was reinstalled, we lost all browsing period.  First the symptoms, then the troubleshooting we've done.

I have Win XP
Firewall is disabled
I can ping 127.0.0.1
I *cannot* ping my own IP
I can ping gateway, DNS, and rest of world, including by site (i.e.: www.fark.com)
I cannot otherwise 'see' the Net: can't browse the internet, cannot download via auto updates
*** edit: also getting 'Microsoft Tun Miniport Adapter  #2'  problem in Device Manager (show hidden) , error Code 10)

Some steps we've taken:

Standard Network troubleshooting (Check network settings, release/renew IP, cables, etc.)
Remove/reinstall network adapter & TCP/IP (cannot physically remove net card, ethernet port is integrated with motherboard grr)
Firefox un/reinstall
IE un/reinstall (using ms.com registry editing method)
WinsockFix.exe
LSPFix.exe
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset
Remove/Reinstall Winsock & Winsock2
Win XP reinstall

Nothing, and I mean nothing, is fixing this. Does anyone have any further insight to share?

 Sad

Ok this seems to be a problems for some reason with IPv6.. The only thing that I can recommend would be to pull out your network card, then reinstall windows.. There is no cure out there of this as of right now.. It does seem that SP2 takes care of this if you can get this on to the computer some way.  When you install dont quick format do a full format with ntfs file system..   

Ok you might want to try this.. http://forums.windrivers.com/showthread.php?p=571460

Hi orange: you might try this site http://www.mdgx.com/web.htm#98SE
I used their unofficial windows 98 se 2 & it fixed a problem I was having after I installed IE6.This probably wouldn't work for windows XP I don't know but this site also has a lot of info about XP too.You might have to look around the site for awhile to find what you need.  Cholla

This device 'Microsoft Tun Miniport Adapter ' seems to be causing hardware & internet connex problems of many types.
This component is part of IPv6. IPv6 appears to be available with SP2, but may also have been available via an earlier service pack or hotfix.
If you're not using IPv6 (I assume you wouldn't be), you can uninstall it by executing the following command at a command prompt:
ipv6 uninstall
If IPv6 was installed at the time of execution, you will see...
'Uninstalling...
A reboot is required to complete this action.' Restart your PC to complete the process, as advised.
With IPv6 uninstalled, you may be able to remove 'Microsoft Tun Miniport Adapter ' from Device Manager.
To prevent the service from starting up during Windows' boot, delete the following registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\tunmp
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Services\tunmp
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tunmp

Let me know if this helped  ;)

A simple solution to removing the Microsoft Tun Miniport Adapter #2 is to go into safemode and move or delete the drivers
tunmp.sys c:\windows\system32\drivers
netip6.pnf c:\windows\inf
nettun.pnf c:\windows\inf
once the drivers are out of their orignal location restart,go to device manager and uninstall,and then move the drivers back to where they came from

How do I Remove/reinstall network adapter & TCP/IP? Maybe it will also cure my problem. I have a thread running above, because after I ran the home network wizard from WInXP I cannot connect to the internet anymore with one of my machines, which is wirelessly connected to the Belkin router. (the computer hardwired to the router is fine) The Belkin router is still seen by this computer, the wireless network adapter is working also, but still suddenly no more connection to the web. So maybe Remove/reinstall network adapter & TCP/IP will help?

right click on the my computer icon, click properties, click on the hardware tab, click on the device manager button, expand the network adapters group, right click on each adapter you want to uninstall, and click uninstall on the context menu... after uninstalling, reboot... windows should automatically detect and reinstall the adapters... tcp/ip is also uninstalled and reinstalled when you do this...

*** edit: also getting 'Microsoft Tun Miniport Adapter  #2'  problem in Device Manager (show hidden) , error Code 10)

I had what appears to be the same problem, and I tried just about everything you did (and then some). I could connect to my MMORPG, but neither browser (Opera and IE6) worked, widgets could not connect, etc.
I figured it had to be something to do with the way my system was looking to resolve DNS addresses (since I could ping everthing). I even had my 'professional' computer friends give it a shot.

I was doing a couple last minute things before wiping the drive and reinstalling when I found (ok, noticed) something. When Opera could not find a page, it told me so....and then listed some options for correcting the problem. Duh, the last one had to do with turning off proxy settings.

I had never turned proxy settings on, but I took a look, and sure enough, they were turned on - to 127.0.0.1 (sound familiar).

Once I turned of the proxy settings for both Opera and Explorer everything was again connecting fine.

Now I just need to get rid of the darned tun miniport Smile.


Hope that helps,
Hg

Nice info for others to see. I do remember this being true whenever calling my ISP after a reformat to get back on the net. (satelite, hughes.net)
Again thanks.

And you had better come back and post sometimes.  Very Happy You hear??
