Solved "Windows can not automatically detect this network's proxy settings"

[tomerello]

That's because your problem is dns lookups.
Have you restarted your computer?

What's your output from "nslookup" then "google.se"

 

[Korva]

I've restarted more times than I can count at this point yeah. Just did it right now, no changes.

nslookup gives me the following.
"Default Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com"
"Address: 8.8.8.8"

Just typing google.se gives me this.

> google.se
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8

Pinging gets me the following
"Ping request could not find host google.se. Please check the name and try again.

 

[tomerello]

try to type google.se in your web browser now, it should work.

 

[Korva]

I'm afraid it does not work. Firefox still gets "Server not found" and IE can't load the page either.

 

[tomerello]

Can you open c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts with notepad and past everything here.

 

[tomerello]

Try to boot into safe mode with network and try to get to google from your web browser now.

 

[Korva]

127.0.0.1 localhost

That's all that's in there.

 

[Korva]

I'll try the safe mode boot right now as well.

 

[Korva]

Safe mode boot with networking is done, still can't connect to google via my browser.

 

[tomerello]

Try to turn off your firewall and a/v (don't forget to turn it on again). try
Install virtualbox and make a windows 7 machine using hosted network and try to connect. If this not work I don't know :/
The last thing would be a clean install of windows 7 :/

I hope someone can find an other solution for this problem.

 

[Korva]

Alright, I will try a virtual machine and report back.

 

[Korva]

Well just did a complete re-install of 7 and everything seems to be work perfectly. Thanks for all of your help everyone, even though I wasn't able to resolve the issue without going nuclear I do appreciate it.
