I moved to a different ISP and can not get my browser (even IE) to connect

Howdy,

I have a vanilla W7 that has worked on my LAN and INTERNET at a NY location. I have moved to a FL location and the machine connects to my LAN (via my new NetGear INTERNET HUB) but I can not get a browser going. Yet I have another machine that I moved that does connect to the INTERNET.

What should I look for to determine the problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Freecat,
What the troubleshooter error denotes. You start from there

Boggin:
Run a cmd prompt as an admin by going Start - type cmd - right click on cmd when it comes up and select Run as administrator - accept the UAC and enter these cmds -

netsh winsock reset catalog

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /registerdns

shutdown /r /t 00

and then see what it is like after the reboot.

removed.

C:\Windows\system32>ipconfig /registerdns

C:\Windows\system32>

THEN I SHUTDOWN THE COMPUTER AND REBOOTED, but the problem perisists:

Boggin:
Sorry - my error.

The cmds are ipconfig /flushdns and ipconfig /registerdns

You normally get that error on the /renew cmd when you aren't wired up - nothing to worry about.

Go Start - type inetcpl.cpl and press enter then change your home page to either www.google.com (USA) or www.google.co.uk (UK) - Apply - OK - then try to open IE.

EDIT - going back to what I posted - it wasn't my error but your typo but I see you corrected it for one of the cmds.
