It applies to both W7 and Windows 8
Hello Tommy & Golden...
Thank you for your suggestions. I successfully flushed, then stopped and started DNS Client Service.
But I.E. doesn't work. No matter which site I try to access, the error message is "The Page can't be displayed." When I click on "Fix connection problems" Troubleshooting tells me it "couldn't identify the problem."
Any more ideas would be welcome. Thanks.
In Device Manager, is there a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark next to your network adapter?
You can try this, it will reset your Windows Host File, Internet Protocol, and Winsock. It will also renew your IP address and flush your DNS cache. Copy/paste the following in Notepad. Then click File and Save. Type reset.bat for the File name and change Save as type to All Files and save to your Desktop. Double click to run it. When its finished, reboot and see if you have net.

After you've checked Device Manager for missing drivers of course.
O.K. On to the next step(s). Download Farbar Service Scanner (link follows) Open and select Internet Services. Click Scan. It will make a text log. Under File Check look for any missing files. It will say " Attention! File is missing and should be restored". If any files are missing, you'll have to replace them. Do this by typing the missing file in the search box and clicking Search Files. Copy/paste any replacement files to your C:\Windows\system32\Drivers folder. Then reboot.

By the way, have you ran a sfc/scannow to find and possibly repair any corrupted system files? We have many excellent tutorials here at the forums, here's how to do that if you haven't before :SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
