What do u mean "clearing out"? Did you go mess in the registry or just unistall programs? Did you delve into any system folders? Disable any services?

The "TVs" are actually two computers.

Are you sure your IE is set to work online?

Hiw did you post here if IE doesn't work?

Do you have any other browsers installed?

Can you use Windows Explorer/Outlook/anything else to access the net?

Reinstall ad-aware (maybe downlaod it at work if you don't keep the sources).

Did you uninstall any Windows Components?

Can you get an IP address? If you're running Windows 9x/Me, type "winipcfg" in the Run dialog box. If you're using Win 2000/XP then open up a DOS window and type "ipconfig"

Let us know the IP address your network card is pulling.

Its says the DNS IP is 194.117.152.85?
Also the numbers
44-45-53-54-00-00 and 255.255.255.255 are there. Does this help?

Still I'm not sure what to do, everytime I open IE it comes up with DNS error page. Not much good with computers me really :-(

44-45-53-54-00-00 <-- is your mac address (media access control)

255.255.255.255 <--- is your subnet mask

194.117.152.85 <--- You say this your dns entry, but are you seeing an IP in the IP address field?

(XP)Type command in the run prompt ipconfig /renew
and reboot then type in ipconfig /all
and see if anything comes up in the IP address field.
