Windows 7 can't get online
So I just brought a brand new PC running Win7 and I've got it plugged into my netgear router.
It seems happy, the network and sharing center shows that everything is fine, it can even spot my laptop connecting wirelessly to the router. It also says I'm connected to the internet. However if I try and open IE or Firefox or anything else that actually uses the internet nothing happens. They search for something that's never comes.
I've messed around for days now fiddling with options, turning things on and off, calling my ISP, uninstalling all antivirus software and turning firewalls off...
Oddly enough I've discovered I can ping websites like google and whatnot, just not actually browse them.
PLEASE HELP!
