Can ping both sides of router but cannot get to internet
I have 2 clones both with Asus motherboards, both have AMD Phenom X2 CPUs, 1 has 16GB of RAM and the other has 8GB of RAM, they are both using the onboard Realtech NIC and are wired to a Netgear Gigabit switch that connects to a Netgear FVS318v3 router. One system works fine, the other , not so much. It cannot get a DHCP address from the router although the other one has no problem getting an address. Neither do our 2 laptops and my Asus Transformer tablet.
The system that cannot get a DHCP IP, but when configured with a fixed IP it can see the network printer, it can see the other devices on the network, it can ping both sides of the router, but it cannot ping google.com. It CAN tracert to it however.
There are no devices in Device manager that are showing driver issues. I have downloaded the LAN driver package from Asus and reinstalled it. I have disabled Windows Firewall but still no luck connecting to anything outside my network. I am running AVG Anti Virus on both systems.
I have looked through many of the posts here and on other sites looking for a solution. Anyone have any ideas on where to look next?
[edit]
I just did a manual TCP\P reset and when I weht to restart the machine I noticed that there was a Microsoft update notification. After rebooting, still neither IE, Firefox or Chrome can connect to any site that I have tried. The DNS client service is running but I get a site not found message. This machine is using the same DNS servers as the ones that are connecting. AND the Microsoft updates are in the process of downloading and installing.
