No internet access on win 7 after reformat and reinstall
Background: Had upgraded to windows 10. after 4 days ok had sudden power fluctuation, long story is had to do total reformat and reinstall. Have Windows 7 on my main pc now. Am writing this from hubby's winxp which is connected directly to router/modem. My laptop in another room, win 10 can connect to router and internet wirelessly, so there is nothing wrong with router/modem config.What's more, can get into both router admin and internet if I boot to liveubuntu cd on my main pc. But not with Win 7. Updated from Vista which did lots of updates so was working then.
with command prompt, have flushed dns, reset winsock, renewed dns etc etc (as you can see have been Googling) but nothing is working. Would love it if someone can help.
