Yes I am running ESET, but have disabled it and still no success. So I guess I'm not technically running it right now, ha. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Asus G51VX OS Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Intel Core 2 Quad 2.0 |

Jeez, that's a lot of stuff.
I'd start with all the 6to4 adapters with a number and all the ISATAP adapters that have a number next to them.
I also see the ESET firewall in there. You sure it's OK for Windows 7? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell C521 OS W7 Ultimate 64bit W7 Premium 64bit W7 Premium 32bit WXP Home 32bit CPU Athlon 64X2 5000+ Motherboard Dell Memory 4GB Graphics Card ATI X1300 Sound Card On Board Monitor(s) Displays Dell 19" Flat Screen Resolution 1280x1024 Mouse Microsoft Wireless Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 Hard Drives 500GB Western Digital Caviar Green Internet Speed SBC DSL - 6Mbps |

Try the sfc/scannow first, as Chev65 suggested. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self Build 64bit OS Vista Ult64, Win7600 CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2400 MHz 64bit OS Motherboard Asus P5E3 Deluxe WiFi @p 64 bit OS Memory 4096 MB DDR3-SDRAM Graphics Card ATI Radeon HD 3870 Series x2 Crossfired Sound Card Realtek on board Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster - 23 inches Screen Resolution 1680x1050 pixels at 60 Hz in True Colors Keyboard Wireless Mouse Wireless PSU Cooler Master 1000w Case Cooler Master Cosmos 1000.

You will need to uninstall that completely, firewalls cause just these types of problems. After that run the sfc/scannow. And delate all those extra DNS entries in Device Manager. It looks like Eset was causing this or at least it's highly suspect at this point. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8 Pro, CPU Q9650-4.275GHz, E8600 4.5GHz, E6750-3.8GHz Motherboard Evga 780i FTW Memory G.Skill PC2 9600 1200Mhz 5 5 5 15 2T Graphics Card GTX480 Sound Card Asus Xonar D2 Monitor(s) Displays HannsG Screen Resolution 1680X1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU ThermalTake Toughpower 1000Watt modular Case ThermalTake XaserV Cooling Xigmatek S1283 Hard Drives GSkill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD Internet Speed T1 |

I have disabled the whole thing for the time being. Why would it not work now when it has been just fine all these months? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Asus G51VX OS Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Intel Core 2 Quad 2.0 |

When those programs update themselfs it can cause the program to change it's behavior. A complete uninstall is best. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8 Pro, CPU Q9650-4.275GHz, E8600 4.5GHz, E6750-3.8GHz Motherboard Evga 780i FTW Memory G.Skill PC2 9600 1200Mhz 5 5 5 15 2T Graphics Card GTX480 Sound Card Asus Xonar D2 Monitor(s) Displays HannsG Screen Resolution 1680X1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU ThermalTake Toughpower 1000Watt modular Case ThermalTake XaserV Cooling Xigmatek S1283 Hard Drives GSkill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD Internet Speed T1 |

So a restore didn't work. I'm sure a reinstall will.

Well I deleted all those extra adapters, deleted ESET, restarted and tada, it works. I have internet access. So I don't know if my problem was eset or the adapters, but it's working now. I really hate to ditch ESET as I payed good money for it and it has worked well, I may re-download it to test to see if that was the problem. But thank you all so much for helping me. Much better than sitting on a phone for a couple hours with support. If I incur anymore problems I'll be sure to post them on this forum. Since most of the people on here really seem to know their stuff. You've all been repped.
