    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?

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

    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.
