No Internet to only 1 of my pc's after modem change

Hi

This is my first time posting anything on this forum and I'm not sure if it's in the correct section.

I recently changed my broadband from Vodafone Ireland to o2 Ireland.

I waited until vodafone's internet stopped, then installed my new o2 modem but now my main work pc has no internet, but it does have Skype. It is on Ethernet cable.

Ok, all my other pc's in the house are ok, and so is the wireless to all the phones/tablets etc.

I do not have great pc knowledge, but with some help I managed to ping Google.com and its ok. I have disabled avg and windows firewall and still no internet. I have also Googled it of course but I can't find a solution
Basically the internet IS reaching the modem but not my work pc, which was fine up until the changeover.

What could be causing this please, and any ideas on how to fix it.

Thanks in advance

Now I have tried pinging again and it says.. ping request could not find host...

Skype still on and working

Is it correct to type....

Common problem but the solutions are rather vague. It's acting like a DNS problem and Skype doesn't rely on DNS but apparently this doesn't have much to do with the solutions I've found which are few and far between.

Try uninstalling the network adaptor then turn Windows firewall off and back on again. Go to Device Manager right click network adaptors and then scan for changes which should reinstall the network adaptor.

Reboot the machine, if you are still having problems. After that try running the sfc /scannow command to see if there is any system file corruption. :)

You might also try running the file below which will flush the DNS and reset winsock/TCP/IP etc.

@Shadowjk and Kaktussoft
Ok I have restarted in safe mode with networking and all is still the same

ie..Skype ok...no internet pages.

@chev65 gonna try yours now...

Interesting how it's suddenly showing as solved.

I uninstalled the network adaptors, restarted and scanned for changes and hey presto.. online again

Thanks to you all for your fast and accurate help.

Sorry, I had the post all written out, then I clicked mark as solved thinking it would post it too and mark it solved but no...I lost the lot and only the solving bit went through your end!

Whoops...thank you so much, especially to chev65!
