Not sure whats going on Have you tried "Troubleshoot Problems" when you right click on network icon in the tray? That usually does the trick.

togermano Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I did the proxy server and windows network repair diag and no luck. He just got the computer from someone else and i figure a clean install was best anyways to get rid of the previous owners crap. It fixed it so something corrupted the tcp/ip files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Supervisor Posted January 16, 2013 Supervisor Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hello, Given that this is a used computer, I would not trust any of the software on it all. Erase the hard disk drive and load a clean copy of the operating system from the manufacturer's media. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
