Windows 7 internet troubleshooting guide


















Click 'Start', type System Restore into the Search box and launch System Restore to revert your computer to a time when it worked properly. Start with the recommended Restore Point and only choose an older backup if this fails to resolve your problem. If an update refuses to install, open Windows Update via the Start menu and click 'View update history'.

Double-click the failed update to see a pop-up window revealing more details, or click the 'Troubleshoot' link to run a troubleshooter. If you're unable to install an individual update, restart your computer and keep tapping [F8] until the Advanced Boot Menu appears.

Select 'Safe mode with networking' from the list and press [Enter] twice to boot into Safe mode. Download and install manually Open your web browser and go to www. Type the update's KB number into the Search box at the top of the screen, then manually download the update to your hard drive. Click on Internet and move the slide bar down to t5he bottom lowest security as shown in the screen shot below.

After moving the slider down completely, click on OK. Now close the IE8 and open it again. Now you should be able to connect to the internet. If it still does not work our, try to uncheck the 'Enable Protected Mode' option.

Restart IE8 again and check. Install Drivers in emulation mode : If you are installing Windows 7 on a slightly old computer, then the problem may be due to incompatible drivers.

So you can try to update the drivers with latest ones for your network card. Try to install the latest drivers and see if it works. If it still does not work, then you have to install the drivers in compatible mode. This can be done by right-clicking on the executable file, choosing properties,clicking on the compatibility tab and checking the box which says 'Run this program in compatibility mode and then choose the OS.

Try network trouble shooter : If none of the above methods works out, then you can try the built-in network diagnoswtic tool. You have to right-click on the Network icon in the system tray and choose Troubleshoot problems.

It automatically detects what the problem is and give you a possible reason and a solution. Uninstall the network card : You can try to uninstall the network card from Device Manager and let Windows 7 reinstall it again and reboot.

Right-click on your network card and choose Uninstall. If prompted to remove the driver, click Yes. Apparently the utility that updated my drivers did not also update ProSet. I suspect that windows may use some API delivered in Proset as part of their interface to the wireless function.

I installed an update that included both the driver and the Intel ProSet Wireless utility and my problem resolved itself. Wednesday, October 31, AM. My problem is similar to that of the OP. I have a system with 2 boot drives, Windows 7 Pro and Windows 7 Ultima, both 64 bit. Just over a week ago, I had to disconnect my PC because of a heavy tropical thunderstorm. After maybe 40 minutes things were safe enough, so I reconnected and started the PC.

I had no network connection. Troubleshooting insisted that the network-card was unplugged, while it was not. After having tried everything I could think off, I rebooted from my 2nd drive with Win 7 Pro.

Everything was fine with that system, so it was not a problem with the on-board Atheros L1 ethernet-card. Friday, November 9, PM. One in our family has had Windows 7 for a few years now, and has shared via our setup with nary a problem. Two weeks ago, she had no internet, while we enjoyed our normal connections. We verified that the new Kaspersky AV in place of the Norton, at our behest she had put in her desktop was updated and such,but now there seems to be this inexplicable problem, similar to what is described in this forum.

We tried everything here to no avail. Then it hit us Afterwards, we created a new system restore point, backed up the registry and restarted.

To date she is still enjoying internet with my Netgear usb, so we figured it was merely a recent update that misidentified whatever her original usb wireless adapter was that is , djp' s mention of the KB updates listed And now I have an XP that will need a another adapter, but there's definite peace in my house Let it be known, while we don't mind visiting family, the incessant howling of 'NO Internet' was resounding way too much for my taste. I hope! Bottom line, follow the steps that have been pointed out in posts previous to this one Please note the contributors mentioned below and see their respective posts above.

This is merely another solve for something that presented itself. But it just wasn't showing the IE any signs that it was connected, and the 'troubleshooter' found no way to solve Way too many hours of hell on this problem, but here's hoping one of these will help. Wednesday, November 21, AM. Brano, I believe your suggestion solved MY problem. Wednesday, November 21, PM. Either method. Edited by demmith2 Sunday, December 23, PM. Sunday, December 23, PM.

Re: Faiyyu This one did not work for me. Re: Nomar I went to the Dell site. Edited by demmith2 Monday, December 24, AM. Monday, December 24, AM. Seems that this is a recurring issue because as I sit here and enter this post it is December 23, and some of these posts originated back in the summer. Yea, how 'bout an apology McAfee and maybe a credit?! I don't have any McAfee software's on my system thus don't know if it is relevant for me. Never the less tried doing it but couldn't, because I couldn't connect to the internet.

Also in safe mode it want connect. Any1 can help? Saturday, March 9, PM. One thing though, when you are setting up your virtual machine make sure to configure your hardware and set the network connection to bridged And if somebody know how to set the drivers capabilities please post back. Thursday, March 28, PM. I couldn't connect either. Also, I had previously uninstalled McAfee, and that does not solve the problem. Also tried installing MVT without an internet connection and that did not work.

In case the problem was a virus, I ran Hitman Pro , my go to cleaner. I forgot that it does not work offline, however it found the connectivity problem, a Winsock error, and fixed it. After a reboot, all is well. I am sure there are better ways to fix this, but this worked for me. Sunday, May 26, AM. Edited by pbhmpls Saturday, June 15, PM.

Saturday, June 15, PM. Our issue was fixed by uninstalling IE 10 and rebooting. Who-da thunk it? Tuesday, July 2, PM. Thank you so much. I know this is an old post but thanks to you my internet is up and running. Thursday, July 11, PM. Thanks, your solution was the only clear and workable one that I spent hours looking for!

Saved me from getting into deep trouble with someone lol! Sunday, August 4, PM. Friday, September 27, AM. Is Windows 8 riddled with the same problem? If not, I might consider upgrading. Tuesday, October 1, PM.

Wednesday, October 9, AM. HI Please follow the below steps to resolve the issue, the problem due to IP conflict.

Monday, October 21, AM. I have the same problems after windows update. Did you find any answers?! Saturday, November 16, PM. Sunday, November 17, AM. I had this same problem and found the cause was in my router. Windows showed he wireless connection as connected, which I suppose it was, but it could not get an IP address. The fix was to extend the range of the DHCP addresses in the router's configuration.

Sunday, January 5, PM. Sunday, February 16, PM. Thank you, I used method 1 and it fix it. Monday, February 17, PM. I was fighting the same, same problem for about two weeks!!!

Thank God, I believe I found something I didn't see anyone else even mentioning. Well while fooling with this I believe I accidentally turned my power switch to volts, well that's not what caused the "No Internet Connection" but if it wasn't for that I don't think I would have stumbled on to this.

The volt setting and after I disabled the auto notification on it, stupid me, I had know idea, well it ended up wiping my hard drives boot sectors.. I actually had two boot options, one on each hard drive and both got corrupted.

Ok, now after replacing my motherboard, just wasn't sure why it wouldn't boot and that thing seemed flaky anyway but it was the drives I finally found out. Well after re-installing Windows 7 on the newly formatted drives, of course the "Internet Connection" was flying!!!

I just ran a "Speedtest. Then after beginning to load "drivers" and such back on the fresh system You got to be kidding me, a fresh system install and here we go again.

And couldn't believe it. My problem and I had done everything from all these posts, believe me, all the stuff. It was the "USB 3. I actually just bought a 4 port brand new one for the new board and oh yeah. INTEL actually has a bulletin stating this very thing, the 2. I never saw this any where during all the searching and hours and frustrations I had with this The 3.

I even tried pulling the power from it hoping I'd get at least 2. I'm waiting on a new card reader with 4 3. Thank God at least now I know!!! Please feel free to share this, now this was ridiculous and Hope this helps, now just a solve for the 3.

Monday, March 31, AM. Monday, March 31, PM. If possible, connect via wireless. Get an IP from access point or hotspot, fire up your browser than disconnect. Reconnect ethernet cable and try to ping your DNS.

Wednesday, April 9, PM. Running Win 7 in VMware Workstation and issue appeared after a 'revert to snapshot'. Running netsh int ip worked Thanks.

Wednesday, April 23, PM. Computer Dr Breaking Crap then fixing it back since I have tried everything in the above mentioned posts. I can ping a website and router in cmd but still can't pull up the internet. Tried in safe mode and no luck either. I ran into this problem after I ran malware bytes and quarantined some viruses.

I also removed a program driver detective. I then restored back 3days to see if that would reset anything. Still no internet. The system shows access. I can connect to the other computers on the network. I am completely stumped on what to do next. Getting 3 errors of missing. Any further ideas or solution? Friday, May 16, AM. Does this shed any light on the problem and how do I modify or get rid of this snapdo entry Thanks.

Sunday, May 18, AM. Monday, May 19, AM. Fixing the DNS address worked for me. Sunday, June 1, PM. Friday, July 4, AM. Thanks ShopSpeedHouse! That was a very quick solution. I changed my wireless internet access to LAN and now the internet connects well.

Thanks again! Friday, August 15, AM.
