    For him to do that he would have to press Properties . By his image that button is greyed out .

    @KevinStorm

    Try the Group Policy Editor ( only available on Ultimate, Professional, and Enterprise editions of Windows 7 )

    Open up a start menu by clicking on type in gpedit.msc in the Search box or press key on your keyboard and press R to open up the run window and type in gpedit.msc .

    Navigate to
    Code:
    User Configuration
    Administrative Templates
    Network
    Network Connections
    Look for Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection on the right hand side and see its disabled .

    I noticed the shield icon next to one of your desktop icons which makes me think you might not have access/privelages to change the settings. Try enabling built-in administrator account. Do you have any programs that control your network settings, like wifi?

    Try this out

    1 Reset TCP/IP -> netsh int ip reset <log> (log is needed, ex.
    “C:\ResetIP.txt”) don't reboot

    2: uninstall-“Client for Microsoft Networks”- reboot
    3. Reinstall “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” -> Add protocol, click on “Have
    disk…” and browse to “C:\%WinDir%\inf\nettcpip.inf” *
       Note
    %WinDir% is Windows folder


    4. Reinstall -> “Client for Microsoft Networks”
    add a Client afterwards, it will show in the list

    If what VistaKing doesn't solve it
    Download this batch file: TcpIP_reset.bat
    Open an elevated command prompt (right clcik command prompt, run as administrator)
    Launch the batch file you downloaded
    exit command prompt and
    reboot

    Code:
    ; netsh int ip reset %UserProfile%\Downloads\Reset_IP.txt
    netsh int ipv4 reset %UserProfile%\Downloads\Reset_IPv4.txt
    netsh int ipv6 reset %UserProfile%\Downloads\Reset_IPv6.txt
    netsh winsock reset
    essentially what VistaKing suggested, but with two more steps

    You might want to check your system for Malware - just in case.
    Run a full system scan with your real-time Anti-Virus application.
    Then...

    Download AdwCleaner
    The default save location is your Downloads folder.
    AdwCleaner is a standalone executable, there is nothing to install.
    1. Navigate to your Downloads folder
      .
    2. Right-click on adwcleaner.exe--> select Run As Administrator to launch the application
      .
    3. Click on Delete button


    4. Confirm each deletion with OK
      .
    5. Your computer will be rebooted automatically.
      --> A text file will open after the restart.
      --> Please post the content of that logfile in a post on this thread
    You can find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[Sn].txt as well - n is the order number.

    If you don't have a real-time Anti-Virus application, you might want to run a full regiment of Malware scans.
