no luck either with the opendns settings

adding the DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 did not fix it, still same issue.

Even tried again with just 67.231.21.21 in the address bar, still no webpage displayed

That's it!! the wrong gigawatt setting

ipconfig/all DNS server = one from my network, 192.x.x.x and one from outside my network = 68.x.x.x NetBios over TCIP = enabled

In Win 7 your hosts (not lmhost) file is at c:\windows\system 32\drivers\etc

Since you can ping from the command line, your tcp/ip settings are good.

Try putting 67.231.21.21 (ORdN) in the address box in IE or Firefox, tell us what happens.

By The way, It is Win 7 64 Bit operating system, I see there is a file c:\windows\sysWOW64 if that makes a difference?

typing just the numbers in the address bar does not display webpage, but in IE, instead of the message above the address reading "invalid webpage" I get a message "Internet Explorer can not display webpage"

Not OFFLINE with IE or Firefox

No DNS settings listed in the TCPIP properties area of the network card.

Thanks so far

I have a laptop running Windows 7. I have more experience with Windows XP, so Win7 is kinda new to me.

Can not get to webpages from the address bar while using Internet Explore or Firefox. Does not matter if it is the hardwired connection or through wireless.

When I type an address in the address barr sch as www.google.com, I get the standard "page can not be displayed" and the address bar shows http:/// and above that is "invalid webpage"

My 2 other computer on my network are functional.

The odd thing, I can connect to Windows Update from the toolbar > Safety > Windows updates. I can also ping websites from a DOS command line.

I ran Malwarebytes, and Windows Security Essentials scan and no viruses found. I have no recent restore points to roll the laptop back to.Nothing out of the ordinary to make me think there is a virus ( no popups, strange desktop backgrounds)

other details:

No problems listed in Device Manager with the network adaptors.

-TCPIP settings are DHCP

- I can release and renew IP address in DOS, proper network obtained each time.

-I Cleared the DNS table in DOS. (DNSFlush)

-Turned Windows firewall off as a test

-The only registry setting I checked was under Software>Windows>Run and Run once,nothing odd there

-Selected IE "restore default settings" no difference, even though Firefox does not work either, I figured if I could get IE functional, that would be a start.

Maybe an LMHOST issue? Where is that in Win 7?

I have used the google search, but none of the fixes listed resolve my issue.

Any ideas? I can use a flash drive to tranfer any files to the nonfunctional laptop. I think I will run "HiJack this" next.

Sorry to hear about the dog.

My dog will be 14 this year, and is showing signs of going down hill. I would like the dog to make it though the year, but not sure

Noone will adopt this

Everyone is going to stick with what they were before.

Change is bad

Chevy, nothing wrong with Serpentarius Soldier as a screen name

I am now married to an Ophiuchus (yikes WTF is that?), and i got demoted to Aquarius

I can kick in the money I planned to use for the steaks at Buddy's after the bike show, plus whatever change i find in the couch cushions.

When i win the truck, i will put "chevy" on the side of it....oh wait, that is already there

Neat decal.

$75 gets you a real Polaroid camera from this place:

I had the Vic 20 and an Apple IIe. I remember using a hole punch to make your own double sided disks. The disk drive A and B made a great monitor stand. Early highlight of the Apple, getting an 80 column card and upgrading to my 28.8 modem. I had a summer Olyimpics game and Dr J Vs Larry Bird basket ball.

I have an Osborne portable computer ( more like lug-able) that is the size of a microwave from early 80's?.

Nice Chevy

Real men use Marlin or Savage .22LR's.....

Speedy's drinking from the Remington kool-aid

Unless you people are gonna be there at about 1:30am?

yep, i'll be there then

Can we get those steaks pre-cut?

I vaguely recall last year somebody took my steak knife away from me "for my own good". Whatever that means

i LOL'ed a bit there

No. Doesn't matter how many is in the mag, it considers what the mag itself is capable of holding while it's inserted into the firearm.

Thanks Chevy and IP.

Bet there will still be a run on Glock owners buying the 33rd mags since it has been in the news.

SO if you get the 33rd mag, but only load to 31, you are ok?

It is kinda like another Ohio law that classifies a load mag,seperate from a pistol, as a loaded weapon while in your vehicle.
