    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 ?

    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).

    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

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

    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... :\
