Have you tried "Troubleshoot Problems" when you right click on network icon in the tray? That usually does the trick.

Malwarebytes

check for proxy server setting and use malwarebytes.

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

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.
