Cannot Connect To The Internet And Unable To Change DNS Manually
Dec 11, 2015
I'm running Windows 10 (upgraded from 7 a month or so ago) on an HP Pavilion g6 laptop. My computer suddenly stopped being able to connect to the internet a few hrs ago and now no website opens in any browser. Torrents work fine, surprisingly.
Troubleshooting gives me this "Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource is not responding" ... I tried the flushdns, registerdns, ... routine but it doesn't work. Switching the router off and on again didn't work either.
When I try to change the DNS manually in advanced adapter options, on selecting 'validate upon exit' and closing the window, I get this message "Unexpected condition occurred. Not all of the changes could be made".
Upon googling I noticed on some forums people were pointing fingers at Virtualbox Bridged Networking Driver and VMWare Bridge Protocol. I can see these in the Properties window, but upon trying to uninstall these, I get another error 0x8007007E
I have uninstalled VMware, but the damn protocol is still there. I'm not sure if that is really what is preventing me from making changes to the Network's properties like DNS and IP ...
I downloaded Windows 10, uninstalled my anti virus and disabled my firewall. I am unable to connect to the internet (Ethernet) on Windows 10, I've check the IPv6 and IPv4 which are both activated. I may need the drivers but I'm unsure how to do it.
My other issue is I can't revert back to Windows 7. Apparently my PC deleted the Windows 7 files downloading Windows 10. I tried using the windows disc to format my ssd to clean download Windows 7 back onto my computer, but it wouldn't let me for some reason.
So if there is an easy fix for the internet issue, ill keep Windows 10. But if it's going to take me all day of troubleshooting I'd much rather format my computer back to windows 7.

The internet functionality works fine on his PC after upgrading from Win 8 to Win 10, though there is one problem that we cannot seem to figure out. Whenever the computer is restarted, it somehow cannot connect to the internet. This is especially weird because it will connect after being booted up from a full shutdown.
I should also mention that this is connected via Ethernet cable, not WiFi.
I recently upgraded to windows 10. i started having a series of problems but they eventually fanned out but I still am unable to connect to the internet via wifi. I have to use the ethernet cable.
After the latest update yesterday of win10, I was able to connect to the internet. But once my laptop was shut down, I've been unable to connect since. Rebooted wireless remote and double checked all of the connections. Defender took over as my firewall from Advast. I've been able to shut off Defender but am still unable to connect to the net. In my wanderings, I did come across "report" that information was being sent but nothing going past some unknown firewall. As far as I know there are only 2; defender and Advast.
I have a VAIO F Series VPCF217HG that I just upgraded to Windows 10 a few days ago. So far everything worked fine except one problem.
I have a perfect internet collection, as in I am still able to go on to websites and download/upload stuffs, but every time I try to use any of the Microsoft features, it keeps saying that I don;t have an internet connection. I cannot use Cortana or Windows update and a lot of other features. I tried to use the ""Use SSL 2.0""Use SSL 3.0""Use TSL 1.0""Use TSL 1.1""Use TSL 1.2"" fix but it did't work.
I thought it was because of my outdated Mcafee, so I uninstalled it but the problem still persists afterwards.
I am unable to download *.xap files from store as Microsoft has changed the store layout. Previously. Before the Launch of Windows-phone 10, it worked for me.
After updating to Windows 10 I cannot sign in to a Microsoft account, look at the Store or do anything that requires connection. I initially thought it was something wrong with my connection to the WiFi but my browser can connect and download from the internet fine and I am writing this on the same laptop.
I recently updated from Windows 7 to windows 10 and now i can't connect to the internet. Someone suggested i update my network adapter driver but i can't do that without an internet connection
I updated Windows automatically on my laptop the got the error msg. i use a lan cable to connect to internet, but a error message comes up 'A connection to the remote computer could not be established'
Ever since I got my computer (which came with Windows 10), I've had trouble connecting to the internet. Every time I shut down and start it up again, it's never online even though I'm using a cat 5 cable hooked directly to the source. My laptop can connect wirelessly, so that's how I know my internet is fine, but it's a Mac (which I'm currently using) so it's a completely different OS.
Usually if I went into the command prompt and did ipconfig /release then /renew, it fixes it, and I'm online. But ever since doing a recent Windows Update that trick doesn't seem to be working anymore. I.E. ipv4 and ipv6 are enabled, tried turning off Firewall temporarily to see if that was the issue, tried uninstalling antivirus software.
I upgraded to Windows 10 two months ago. Last week, I lost networking. I've scanned the posts and haven't found a solution.
Network troubleshooter says adapter might be the problem, device manager shows adapter working normally. Power saving not enabled. No VPN installed. Original adapter is Broadcomn NetLink Gigabit Ethernet.
Too late to roll back to Windows 7.
Installed new Realtek PCIe GBE Ethernet adapter that is Windows 10 compatible. Tried an old USB Netgear wireless approach.
Cannot connect desktop to network at all. All other tablets, laptops work fine.
Tried all suggested command prompts (netsh, etc).
Tried updating drivers by downloading to tablet and then transferring to computer.
There seem to be a lot of these problems and they are posted all over.
Firstly most of my programs that were carried over from my windows 10 upgrade seem to have some form of internet connectivity problems, my browsers work completely fine, with the exception of internet explorer, which I think is the reason for the connectivity problems, it also seems that I cannot install java, that was a possible solution that came up in a different forum. error says: cannot install java with current internet settings. The other programs that have connectivity problems are steam, bluestacks and Microsoft office 365, and that it cannot verify my licence I am currently reinstalling it to see if this solves it. will post it here if it has been solved. I use to have comodo antivrus before upgrading to windows 10, I am unsure if there are any remnants of it hiding that is causing these problems.
I have just bought an HP laptop running windows 10. I cannot connect to internet wirelessly as when I select my network connection it requests username and password. (Screen shot attached)I only have a network password for my connection and have never had or been requested for a username.
We have a couple of laptops at home and they connect with password only no problem. It is only this laptop that requests both. I can find no way past it and cannot connect. It connects via cable fine but thats obviously not ideal for portable laptop.
New Dell laptop and everything else works. Have deleted and re-downloaded iTunes 2x. Made sure it's enable in Windows firwall. Even turned off firewall. Deleted McAffee totally. No proxy server is checked. I've googled all day and it seems others are having this problem but I can't find a solution. I'm convinced it's some setting somewhere but I've tried/googled everything. The iTunes diagnostic says iTunes is NOT enabled in firewall, but it is. It will say it's not enabled even if I turn off the firewall off.

Tried to connect to Wifi today and couldn't find how. When I searched for online assistance I noticed that it directs you to the settings and then the network & Internet tab.Except I don't have that tab in settings. Mine is only Network.
I just installed Windows 10 Pro and I don't have internet on Google Chrome,Mozila Firefox,Steam,Spotify, etc.
I can only go on internet when using Microsoft Edge,and the computer said that it has connected to the internet when I put the cursor over the internet icon.
Rolled back to Win 7, now I cant connect to the internet.Checked device manager and all shows good with no errors Wi-Fi shows connected to network. IE, Firefox and chrome will not connect.Of course I was way to smart to do any kind of back up.Was thinking about taking back to factory specs, just have to find the rescue media I created when laptop was new.
So I've built my first ever PC and I chose the ASUS Z170-A as motherboard. When I was finished I installed Ubuntu. The ASUS motherboard do not have wifi compatibility integrated so I used the ethernet cable to connect to internet. That worked just fine, everything worked very smoothly. Then I decided to install Windows 10 instead. I bought the Windows 10 Pro, wiped out all the Ubuntu reserved partitions on the SSD disk, and install Windows.
But now, while having the ethernet cable inserted to the motherboard, it wont recognize it. The green and orange lights next to the ethernet cable input are even turned on (indicating that the PC does have a connection). But still the OS wont recognize that it is there. So even when Ubuntu succeeded to recognize the cable, Windows 10 din not. I speculated that I need some kind of software to detect the cable, but I am probably wrong.
So I reformatted a existing computer (Which was on win7) with Win10. I can not for the life of me connect to the internet though. I have tried the following:
- /release - /renew - Tried setting my ipv4 address manually - when i did that and restarted my computer, it got set back to obtain automatically. - manufacture resetting my router (Dark Knight RT-N66U) - upgrading router to latest firmware - uninstalling the NEC drivers and re-installing - i can ping 127.0.0.1 - i can not ping the router 192.168.1.1 - this is the same machine i used with win7 just reformatted with win10 and yes the internet was working on windows 7. - *also have multiple other machines on my network - some windows -some mac -all work fine wired or wireless.
and countless of other things but cant even think off the top of my head right now.

I can right click on the screen and get context menu's to appear but nothing that I can get any further with.If I right click on the sreen and select "Display Settings" I get a message saying" This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action etc etc".
Running Windows 10 on an HP Multimedia Laptop.I am on vacation in Mexico, Outlook and Edge/Firefox timeout (Laptop) when I try to search/update. HOWEVER my Kaspersky virus dB update can access the Internet (on laptop) with no issues when I run it. I had no problems at home, the only difference is I am trying to connect at the hotel in Mexico. I have tried connecting with both wireless and lan, changed both to trusted networks and rebooted. Same problem, shows a connection but Outlook and Browser timeout. Troubleshooter does not find anything wrong.
The network is fine, I am using my Android tablet and cell phone connected to the network to send this question. Is this some location/security setting in Windows 10?
