No need for the other browsers.
From the command prompt, would you run
ipconfig /all
and post the screenshot?
And while the browsers are still not working (right after boot, I guess), at command prompt do:
ping yahoo.com
and let us know if it goes through.
I was working on this for my mothers laptop. I had up till this evening to finish it. The laptop is gone now so I can't work on it any further. I'm going to go ahead and mark this thread solved since I no longer need help. I sincerely appreciate your desire to help me doctore. You are awesome.
You are most welcome! It may take a while to solve a problem, but we usually get there :)
