Reverence · 11 Feb 2009

Hello yesterday I installed windows 7 build 7022 all worked fine but today suddenly internet stopped working.

It shows that I am still connected and it even connects to skype and enable me to use RDC to connect to my home pc but I cant open any website or join msn.

I tried reinstall NOD32 and other problems that think might cause the problem but nothen works.

Please help me I dont want to reinstall windows again and I dunno whats wrong I searched on google there were some talks about DNS not resolving or port 80 but nothen work from what they suggested as possible fixes.

Thanks for ther replies and help

FIXED IE 8 UNCONNECTIVITY PROBLEM

I have had the same problem trying te get IE 8 to connect to the internet, so, after troubleshooting a java installation problem, I discovered why IE 8 wasn't connecting and I have solved the problem [for me at least].

1.Enable proxy settings in Internet Options
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings > Click the box "Use a proxy Server for your LAN..."
