internet connection wizard deleted:(

[R2D2]

Hi,

I deleted internet connection wizard from my sons computer and now be needs it to re setup his broadband connection. I ran windows setup but it didnt install it again. Any ideas please!

Is this on XP, Greg?

 

[GregE240]

If so, check C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Connection Wizard

ICWCONN1.EXE is what you need.

have you deleted the internet connection wizard or just the desktop shortcut?

from the start menu open your control panel, select internet options then you should see a "connections" tab. If you click on that the option is there to set up a new connection.

If you have XP, you can restore to a point before you deleted said program.

I thought the CD rom from the service provider should sort the internet connection, because on braodband you will not need the dial up sequence that the wizard would try and connect to, or as usuall am I wrong

what provider and is it through a router ? adsl or cable?

 

[R2D2]

Windows 98se. Broad band via Belkin router to a USB Dongle. I deleted the file to free room up. Opps

 

[fuzzer]

do you have internet options in the control panel ?

 

[andy_k]

have you tried using the windows 98SE system file restorer which will check the integrity of your system files and should also spot and replace any that are missing

from the start menu select "run" then type in "SFC" and hit the enter key

Not any more.

 

[andy_k]

another option is just to reinstall windws 98SE over itself. This should leave all your settings in place but give you a repaired version of Windows

to do that do you just boot with the rescue disc and enter what command? BTW will he lost his work and photos etc if I do this??

 

[fuzzer]

you shouldnt need the ICW , i hate the ICW grrrr

can you ping the router?

 

[R2D2]

I couldnt "ping" a pong!

 

[fuzzer]

do you know the IP address of your Router? or gateway?

 

[R2D2]

yes it starts 192.

 

[fuzzer]

yes it starts 192.

well , that would be the number you would ping to see if you can get access onto the router .

Start , run , command .

this should open an MS dos box and type : ping 192.xxx.xxx.xxx replacing the x's with the numbers

it shouldn't change any of his files although it's always worth backing them up,

just boot with a floppy and run "setup"

Right. I've fixed a few other things and the usb dongle now receives data from all the networks in the street! But i cant ping the router, internet explorer wont open a page and internet connection wizard is still missing
