Hi and welcome

Probably not a "public" issue if you are on a "home" network. More likely the drivers involved. type device manager in search. go to the network tab. Is your wifi card listed? does it have a yellow triangle on it? are there any other unknown devices with yellow on them?

Look for mdnsresponder.exe in the task manager. If you have that, you have Bonjour service. Completely uninstall that by searching Google for how.

Assign a static ip address to the adapter for IPv4 in Windows, using a public dns server. This will clear your issue.

Yes. Open an elevated command prompt. Copy and paste each line one at a time and hit enter after each:

“%PROGRAMFILES%\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe” -remove

regsvr32 /u “%PROGRAMFILES%\Bonjour\mdnsNSP.dll”

Reboot and then delete the Bonjour folder inside Program Files folder.

Hi GuaranT
After I use static IP at IPv4 and DNS also, it is changed the status as Internet access
but still can't browse internet.

Then I try with LAN cable , status also got Internet access right but can't browse inetnet.
How any idea??

Thanks to all.

Use 208.67.222.222 as your preferred dns server in the static ip address settings and it will be fine. Reboot after you set it if it doesn't work right away.

Enjoy.

Turn off Windows 7 firewall. I had the same problem. Turning off the firewall was the only solution that worked for me.

Hi. That's not really a solution as you should always have a firewall active. That's a misconfigured firewall. You can reset it back to default settings which are fulll connectivity "out-of-the-box" or "vanilla."
