    download, update and run a full malwarebytes scan, fix anything found before closing.

    if you can't run the exe, try double clicking on the reg file in this zip

    desktop 2

    post the results of an ipconfig from the cmd prompt

    unless your file associations are completely messed up, right click on the zip file and extract should work

    winzip usually works after a delay?

    start run

    cmd

    type ipconfig in the box.

    save the above as a .reg file, then double click on it.

    correct the spaces in it, mse messes it up

    PropertySheetHan dlers should be PropertySheetHandlers

    Can the other machine get to http://10.0.03.254

    ie your router config page (presumably)

    any software firewalls installed, which antivirus? What are the settings in ie, tools, internet options, connections, lan settings. post a hijackthis log
