The PC says "No Internet Connection" but I have internet.

Maybe I'm missing something here but if it's a Mac, then why/ how is it running windows? Is this some kind of virtualisation?

In the very first post it is mentioned in the DXDIAG output.

One thing I will like to confirm though. If you say that the connections are perfect and you are able to browse (use internet). How come IPconfig output shows no IPs?

These are Teredo and Isatap quasi-connections that always show 'Media disconnected' status and receive no IPv4 address and have no MAC. They have absolutely no relevance to internet connectivity in Ipv4. You should be aware of the meaning of all parts of the Ipconfig output if you mean to request it from an OP. Just saying.

elias, please try to disable the wired NIC (Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet) in Device Manager. I see that it has 'received' a typical no-config network configuration, so it might be confusing the system while not being used for network connectivity.

The OP is running Boot Camp. It has been around since the late great Steve Jobs dumped PowerPC and jumped to Intel on his desktop lines.

On my PC, the Network Indicator is a bit flaky.

Occasionally my Network Indicator will suggest that the Network is broken:

Even though I am surfing the Internet at the time.
When I run VMware Workstation

IMO, if your network is working properly, you can ignore the indicator.

Edit: Doh! I had this post open for so long (while I posted elsewhere) that I did not see/read the two posts just above.

The OP's IPs are sort of fine.
Just scroll down to the wireless NIC:

@OP,
~~Is there a network cable plugged into the LAN jack of the computer.~~ [edit: I see now where you have already said that the computer is connected two ways.] Even if you are not using the network cable, it seems that the computer thinks that there is one connected and the Network List Service is attempting to locate your router via a 169 IP address. That network adapter should not even have an IP address, much less an Auto-configuration one.

Under Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection
It should say
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected

You might try disabling it. Let us know if you need help doing that.
edit: you might not be able to do that if you are using the LAN connection for other traffic.

It does not matter that the hardware is by Apple... other than the W7drivers might be old/weird.

He might have some type of malware. He did mention about a driver program asking for money

Hi John and Archer.

It is a mystery how is this even possible to have perfect internet, (cabled runs with 110mbps/ WiFi with 94mpbs) and still show that I am not connected.

In theory it could be the fact that the Windows OS runs on a iMac via Bootcamp, but it shouldn't make any difference at all in praxis.

Until now I've tryied the following;

Bought a new router, "killed" all previous networks and set a new one from scratch.
Went to the internet settings checked everything.
Used Wizard.
Reset and renewed the IPCONFIGs.
Nothing. No success.

Someone told me to download the internet drivers on a USB, uninstall the Internet program files and reinstall them, but I am afraid I will harm the PC doing so...

Any suggestions?

Now check your ipconfig info.

Do you still have an IP address in the section named
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection

When you play this game, are you wanting to use your wireless connection or wired?

eliasmanos · 24 Sep 2013

Hello there :) The EALAC is missing (It is not physically connected right now) but the same problem occurs as well when I connect the Ethernet cable, and deactivate Bluetooth & WiFi
(Have internet, surfs etc. but the PC does not see any connection no matter what)

For literally playing the game I need no connection (Total War Series) but I need a proper connection in order to download correctly Steam and its components so the game launches (Problem is that press launch button but the game does not launch)

Another thing is that you might have lost your registry network properties, residing at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network. Any other way of repairing that than a Repair Install is too convoluted in my opinion. But, check that key first. Is it populated? What do you have under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{***********GUID***************}\Descrip tions? (GUID is just a code which could be different on a different system). Do not change or delete anything in the registry.
