Cannot access internet

(1/5) > >>

williakj2k:
Hello all,

First things first, here is my setup:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
Core 2 Duo Lenovo desktop
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Adapter (built-in)
D-Link DIR-655 router connecting 3 other computers (1 wireless)
1 Roku, and 1 wireless printer



Now, the problem:
I cannot access the internet from this computer only. All other computers and devices work okay.
I tried to install a ramdisk on the computer and when it did not work, i uninstalled it and somehow killed internet access.

I can see everything in the network, I can rdp to the other machines. I just can't access the internet.

I have tried many suggestions, none have worked:
--reset everything -- modem, router, computers
--uninstalled the adapter
--rebuilt the TCP stack
--added Hex address to adapter settings
--tried to add routes to router setup

I've run the all-in-one program three times to no avail.
Windows actually reports that I have access, looking at the icon in the task tray (no red x or yellow exclamation point).
Ping will get the address of a website but packet loss is always 100%.

I'm hoping someone can help me out of this, my last option is to re-install and I really don't want to do that.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.

Will

Hi,Just a thought,have you tried a system restore to before you installed the ram disk,if it works could save
a lot of time, if not you can undo it,so nothing lost.

Shane:
Problem isnt the router as other deivces connect just fine.

Lets find out if it is simply a DNS problem.

Open a cmd.exe window and do 2 pings.

1. Ping 8.8.8.8
2. Ping google.com

Let me know the results of both :wink:

Hello Shane,

After every solution I listed, I tried google.com and yahoo.com.
I tried 8.8.8.8 too and it still does not work.

And to Wolverine, yes I tried a restore after some of the solutions in the list didn't work.
It also did not work.

I didn't know Windows only keeps so many restore points -- one of my ideas was to restore to a month before but when I looked at what I had it was all from the prior week, so that idea went out the door.

Wolverine 7:
Hi,
Windows will normally keep restore points for months,so you may have system problems other than
the issue you posted.Have you run the file checker lately?Might be related to internet issues as well,
have you checked for virus,ie running Malwarebytes in safe mode?
