Internet access problem

[biggadypete]

I have this issue too!! Please help.

I have this issue too. I installed Windows 7 64bit on my PC, and since then I cannot connet to the internet. I have seen various threads detailing how different routers and wireless adapters are not working or recognised but my issue is different.

My computer IS connected to my Router wirelessly.

Windows 7 IS quite happy to connect to the update server and download all manner of updates from Microsoft, as with the above thread.

However it will not allow either IE or Firefox to connect to the internet. I have tried the above ideas, such as Bonjour, Itunes and nothing changes.

The Wireless Adapter is clearly working, (Hence how Windows Update quite happily updates itself) but I cannot access the internet.

Windows does state I have a problem, but when I hit the troubleshoot button, it says it cannot detect the problem!!

Please help!!

Well did you upgrade or install a clean version?

I think its one of the programs that is causing it. Didnt you install anything?
Compare to my program list (posted in this thread) and see if anything shows up in both.

I built my pc 4 weeks ago with an clean install of Vista 64bit. I have now Upgraded to the 64bit Windows 7 yesterday and have since not been able to connect to the internet. Ill compare and see if anything matches.

Just compared and nothing appears similar other than standard windows programs. One interesting thing is that not only does Windows Update connect happily with Microsoft, but my CNN News Ticker does too. Nothing else does however. I have disabled all Firewalls and security options on both my pc and Router. Even tried having no wirless security selected, but still to no avail.

GOD DAMN APPLE!

Archmisha, I have just managed to connect to the internet!! Solved finally! I looked through my processes in Task Manager and found that a 3 programs by Apple were running! None were visible in my programs running page. I stop the processes and uninstalled their hidden file trees, and instantly I could connect the internet.

I will post the name of any programmes I think I can see on your picture that were similar to mine.

Yep. Apple at it again. Like always.

 

[biggadypete]

I had a quick look and couldnt see anything in your pictures that could be causing your issues I'm afraid.

We both clearly had an issue where by our PC's were connected to the internet, just not allowing our browsers to see it. Therefore I suggest if you cant see any Apple software running or causing issues, maybe the best bet would be to uninstall othe bits of software one by one.

I hope you find a solution.
Ill keep a look out to see if I can help further.

And to think I have collegues desperately trying to get me to change to an Apple MAC!

I think Apple are just trying to scupper the New Windows 7!!

 

[torrentg]

Eh, Bonjour and the like have been crippling machines for ages.

 

[archmisha]

Grats biggadypete.
I indeed had some apple software installed, but i removed it, before i created this post, cause i saw it was an issue in other threads.

Still can't figure out what blocking mine...
Can it be my kaspersky somehow?

 

[archmisha]

Uninstalled kaspersky and some more apps, but still nothing helps

Archmisha,

Have you tried to turn off your firewall, and then try to connect to the Internet, and to your router?

Have a nice day.

[archmisha]

Hi,
I have an HP laptop pavilion dv4-1120us.
I had windows 7 RC1 on it - every thing worked fine.
I just upgraded to windows 7 ultimate RTM.

The problem:
I have a router (linksys WRT54GL) and another computer at home. I am able to access shared folders on the other computer (and visa versa), but I cant connect to the internet.
More over i cant connect to the web interface of the router from my laptop.

I havent changed any settings in the router, my second computer able to access internet and router's web interface without a problem.

I tried updating all HP drivers that are out on their website - nothing works.

No proxy is set in my browser.

I am able to ping Google from my laptop and it works...
Another interesting points is: Windows update downloads and install updates freely..

I read other threads around here, i dont have any itunes apps installed..
No mdnsresponder.exe in task manager

Tried to disable ipv6 - didnt help
Tried disabling DNS Client service - didnt help
Setting a static ip - didnt help
Setting firewall off - didnt help
Uninstalled kaspersky antivirus - didnt help
I rechecked my dns settings in the router, in the ISP and in my laptop ipconfig /all.
They seem to be correct.
I cant ping them from any of my computers though

Any help would be appreciated.

Are you using Windows 7 Firewall, or do you use some other.
If so, try to uninstall it.

Best regards,

I had kasperky, which i uninstalled, now dont have any.

Hi guys,

I have this similar problem.

Sony Vaio VGN-NW21ZF. Windows 7 Home premium.
With wireless the box has internet connection. With lan and firewall turned off, mcafee which is now uninstalled compeltely:
1. can ping google, yahoo
2. it says I do have an internet connection, but regardless of Firefox, IE8 or Chrome it does not work.

Running out of ideas, hope for some help.

* I disabled/enabled ethernet - did not help
* put fixed ip or let it on dhcp - did not help
* disabled ipv6 - did not help
* changed lan speed from auto to 10Mb or 100Mb - did not help

If your solution is one of the above, I can retry it of course, exact steps, maybe.. just maybe..

 

[torrentg]

Check task manager for mdnsresponder.exe. Do you have that?

 

[nullnill]

I already did, I don't have the bonjour thingy.
(Kinda wished I did tho' at least I would know what the dang problem is)

 

[torrentg]

Check each/all browser settings that no proxy is set to be used. In IE, it's tools | internet options | connections | lan settings

Remove all checked boxes and save.

In FF, it's tools | options | advanced tab | network tab | settings box

After, run from an elevated command prompt:

ipconfig /flushdns

If that doesn't help, reset the network TCP/IP stack with these commands, one at a time hitting enter after each. Don't worry if one or more results in an error. Just ignore it.


nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
netsh int reset all
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset

 

[nullnill]

that did not help. it ran all except for the "int reset all"
what I have now is: ping google or microsoft, same as before.. can see lan but "no internet".
