Hey there computer masters! Would you allow me to have access to your vast knowledge and expertise? Please? 
Alright, I set up a router a month or two ago to split my DSL connection between 2 computers. On the computer which also was directly connected to the modem, I set up the router through a setup CD that came with it - no problem. Then, I set up my second computer to the router and I had internet access as soon as I was connected, no setup required. I had the second computer hooked up to a different network in the winter so connecting it to my new router didnt need any new setup....I would guess because it was basically plug and play.
Now, my computer had a bunch of those annoying pop-up programs / cookies installed on it without my knowing (sister and gf frequent my computer). So, I went through my add/remove programs and toasted them all. However, when I restarted my computer....I no longer had any internet access. Moreover, my computer doesnt even detect the router. I have tried to re-install the whole network again but to no avail. I couldent have deleted anything to stop the router working because, as aforementioned, there was nothing installed, just plug and play.
Anyone know or have any suggestions about how I can get the internet back on my computer? Have I missed something obvious or very simple? btw - my ethernet card is fine.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
