Able to ping out but unable to surf via ip or url
Hi there,
My fiance and I have both been puzzling over this one for a number of days.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L500, running a duo-core cpu and 3gb with Windows 7 Ultimate x64. We are both fairly advanced users and have tried everything we can think of/find with no avail so we are asking for help.
I generally run Firefox as my default browser but we have also tried IE8 with and without add-ons and are getting connection timed out errors and cannot access a website (wirelessly; a hard wire connection works fine). My belkin router is all setup and secured, and my laptop shows I am connected to both the network and internet. I can ping out to google and other sites just fine but I cannot surf using ip or url.
I disabled my firewall completely, ran Spybot, Malwarebytes, and Trend Micro House Call. they picked up a few cookies and such but nothing to affect connection.
We checked all proxy settings on both the router, and the browsers. Reinstalled the browsers. We are getting a valid ip, there are other PC's connected to the router (1 wired, 1 wireless)
I've done a netsh winsock reset, dns flush, reinstalled the wireless NIC multiple times, even tried System Restore.
I'm at my wits end and I'm hoping someone can help before I have to break down and reinstall my Windows.
