Solved Only FireFox (and a handful of other programs) can connect!

That shouldn't touch Firefox . Try it again with Revo Uninstaller .

Maybe there were some important files that were bolded? I did delete all of them (the bold terms).

 

[VistaKing]

The bold items have to do with the Dr.Web software . Make sure you scan for left over files and folders and delete the bold items by selecting Select All and click on Delete .

 

[VinMahin]

Well uninstalling Dr.Web worked this time!
The internet connection problem persists, however.
I was adjusting my start-up services earlier when I noticed that there was one called WinHttp Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service. I didn't disable it though.
Also, I was playing around with command prompt and noticed that WinHttp imports its proxy source from ie, as you can see in the screen shot attached. Is there a command that can change import settings to those FireFox uses?
netsh winhttp import proxy source=....

Enter Proxy Settings in Firefox - wikiHow

Take a look at the link above . Make sure No proxy is checked .

 

[VinMahin]

I don't want to change FireFox's settings though, I want to change my system's proxy settings..

 

[VistaKing]

That will only touch the proxy settings . For in home use you don't need a proxy .

 

[VinMahin]

Firefox settings are now set to No Proxy, but Google and IE and Steam are still unable to access the network...

 

[VistaKing]

Check the settings for Google Chrome and IE . Might want to check the settings for steam as well .

 

[VinMahin]

what am I checking for? Internet Connection Settings are set to "Automatically detect settings." I just found out that I can't connect to my Telus router through internet explorer or chrome either.

 

[VistaKing]

You're checking for proxy settings . Can you connect to the Internet directly from your modem ? What error do you get when you try to input the router's IP address ?

 

[VinMahin]

Same "unable to access the network" or "network not available" error, with or without a direct connection to the router (I have it plugged in now).

 

[VistaKing]

Can you open Command Prompt ?

Open up a Command Prompt. Click on rb: in

type CMD . Command Prompt opens up to C:\Users\<UserName>\Desktop>_

Type ping google.com press <Enter>

How many packets send and and how received ?

 

[VinMahin]

BAM

 

[VistaKing]

You do have connectivity . Something in IE is blocking it from connecting .

 

[VinMahin]

Very frustrating. Seems like we've tried everything there is to try...
netsh winhttp import proxy source = FireFox doesn't work
netsh winhttp set proxy _ _ _ _ _ _ _ if I knew a proxy that worked could I put it in there? any way to figure out what FF is using?
grrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[VistaKing]

You don't need proxy in a home network . Proxy is mainly used inside enterprise environments

 

[VinMahin]

So, is it over? Should I format and reinstall or are there still options?

I've read this thread and learned much stuff. However, I'm in total awe how much you two went through and there are no solutions yet... :\
