Internet connected but cannot connect
Hello,
I joined the forum just to address my concern.
My HP laptop 2006 model was upgraded to windows 7 from vista 1 year ago.
It was working great then suddenly early this year, I cannot connect to the internet.
I thought it was my ISP problem. I called my internet provider and opted for dual connection, LAN and wireless. Still no access.
I reformatted my laptop last sunday, wipe all data clean and then install everything back again, my kaspersky internet security and office. all worked fine until 2 days the internet went off again.
More weird things, I can use skype and bittorrent. I can also update kaspersky but firefox and IE cant browse.
I tried turning firewall off and downloaded the trial version of sphinx software "windows 7 firewall control". It did solve the problem for 1 day but failed again.
Im frustrated by now. I went to hp service center and told me my laptop wasn't compatible with windows7 and should only use vista. I think that's unlikely the cause.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jim
