Hello people, I came to this forum in rage. This is so weird i can't help but scratch my head and watch in awe. Here's the deal:
Like most people here i have some sort of an internet black-out problem. My event log is full of error's considering DHCP unavailability and other connection problems. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. I reinstalled windows 7 Ultimate x64 two times, formated the disks 3 times each installation JUST in case, and when i start surfing on an absolutely CLEAN install the connection error pops up. Event Viewer says that the computer tries to connect to a dns server but apparently is timed out. I started safe mode with networking, and there was no problem. How the hell is this possible? Safe Mode with Net is no probs, clean instal,even with no drivers gives cutts me off the net! The other weird thing is that when this happens, i can't acces the Network and Sharing center,or anything that lists my adaptor! I can't even shut down the computer cuz it freezes during the shutdown process. From my research it appears that it's still hailing in hope to recieve an IP from the DHCP server. So i tried many method's i found in similar posts around the forums.Here's the list of things i did:
After seeing that safe mode runs internet with no problem (or maybe it didn't, i ran in safe mode for about 30-40 minutes,so i'm not 100% positive),while the clean install doesn't, i though it was because of the drivers.Updated them with the newest ones.There was no problem, but then again i didn't run it software free for more than 30 minutes(usually the internet blackout occures after 15-20 mins).So I installed my regular software including COMODO Internet Security, adding their secure DNS servers in hope to somehow manipulate the connection,cuz automatic DNS choosing didn't help...not to mention it was the dafault anyway. I added all the exceptions, shut down windows Firewall and still no go.
I tried ipconfig /release and renew, but it gives me errors :
C:\Users\Kensei>ipconfig /release
I also can't restore the system for unknown reasons,I'm getting unspecified errors. I figured the disk i got was somehow corrupt or something, so i downloaded an iso,installed it - and yet again the problem remained.
I also tried the netsh int ip reset thing and that didn't help either. I think i know the problem, which is in my opinion the fact that my machine can't get an IP address for whatever the reason. I updated the firmware on my router, i configured the adapter not to shut down to "save power",and got the same problem.The only thing i haven't done is connect the router with the PC via a cable,something i just can't do due to the routers distant position. Plus i'm pretty sure that the problem isn't in the signal. I haven't talked to my ISP yet, but what the hell should i ask them? "Do you support IPv6?" which is obvious since the other computers gotz no problem connecting even when mine can't connect at all. I can't even view the adapter since the explorer just freezes,obviosly attempting to list the adapter. So during an error like this, i have no access to any sort of configuration utility for the adapter, i cant even view it's properties. It always says "Media disconnected" in the command prompt, and once i by accident clicked on the connection status next to the clock in the taskbar, and say the same shit. The router becomes disconnected and i just lose all possible connections. Plus, i can't restart the computer without pressing the button or holding the power button.I once left it shutting down for a whole night,and in the morning it was till going at it. It was obvious that it's not the computer thinking or repeating some calculation cycle since the HDD was as quite as my grandmothers fart. I'm in awe. If anybody has ANY idea what to do, i certainly won't hold a grudge against you if you kindly post it. Thanks in advance.

I even tried ipconfig /refreshdns and there was no go as well.
I reinstalled IPv6 protocols,but the other 2 computers all have vista with IPv6 enabled and there's no problem with the net.
I also can't ping my router(or at least i'm lead to believe that this is the router):
C:\Users\Kensei>ping 192.168.123.254
