  1. Since I ran into this yesterday on two servers that McAfee and MBAM said were "fine" but had obvious things wrong with them:

    From a command prompt, type "at" and hit enter, normally you shouldn't have any scheduled tasks, unless you set something up via the task scheduler. <Might> be something there which <might> be causing your troubles.

    when typing AT, = access denied ( the account i am using should be admin level account)

  2. So, from the command line are you still able to ping Google (or anything)?

    And to clarify, other machines on your network are are able to get out using the same method (wireless, assuming that the 'broken' lapper is going out via wireless).

    If you have a spare Ethernet cable, try plugging the lapper into your router, maybe do an "ipconfig/release" and "ipconfig/renew" just for yuks, restart IE (or Firefox), and see what happens.

    Also, in IE, click Tools, Internet Options, click the Connections tab, click LAN Settings, and make sure that the "Use automatic config...." and "Use a proxy server..." boxes are not checked. Again, I'm guessing that you're not running your own proxy server at home...

    Assuming you try all of the above and shit still ain't working, turn off the laptop, let it set for a moment, power it back on, see what happens. I know, I know, you already tried rebooting, but it's Windows. If a reboot doesn't cure it...

    From command line, I can ping www.google.com (reply = 74.125.95.99)

    Other machine function both wireless ( the one i am using to reply) and desktop hard wired.

    I took non functional laptop to desktop hardwire connection, still nothing on that laptop with know good network cable. I am getting IP address wireless and hard wired on the non web page connecting laptop, so i know the home network is set to allow other devices and i have not limited the number wireless conection.

    Auomatic detect settings is checked and use Proxy server unchecked
