w7 RC: cannot connect to internet..no default gateway
Hello all,
Well it started yesturday when I got home. I couldnt connect to the internet, tried restarting everything (pc, modem and router) and still nothing. It says "identifiying...no network access" the whole time on the bottom. Roommates all connect wirelessly perfectly (embarrassingly im supposed to be the computer person) and wired to the one that would be going to my pc.
I also have a asus mobo with "express gate" so when I boot up I can use the mobo and software on the HD to access the internet (which works, so I know that my hardware is fine) but when I boot into w7 it doesnt let me connect! These problems started last night!
This morning I need to check something for school, did a system restore to 2/4 and still didnt work.
I tried following https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/18203-internet-troubleshooting-guide.html and ipconfig/all, noticed I have a IPv4 (says preferred after the ip), subnet mask, dns servers, but no default gateway to continue the tutorial.
I then hard reset my router and still wouldnt work. Im out of ideas now. I dont have a dvd drive anymore so dont know if I can reinstall windows (dont have time now have a test tommorow!) so any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advanced!
Also note:
In internet options, the lan settings are set to auto connect.
Windows firewall is off
I uninstalled AVG thinking it had something to do with it
