I have a Dell XPS laptop with Win7 64bit installed. It works great except that the internet will not work on some networks – lan or wan.
However, on those “down” networks, it can still see the network (shared files and such with no problem), just not internet. When it does manage to get on, it can only go out for a couple of minutes and then crashes.
So far, I’ve (no particular order), tried fixed IP vs DHCP, reset the winsock, done an ipflush, turned off all security, installed other browsers (Firefox, Safari, Chrome – all fail, ran it from Administrator, reformatted it, reinstalled the drivers – still the problem exists. I’ve even removed items from the startup.
It should be stated that on this network – where Win 7 can’t get on the internet, I have Windows 2000, XP, and Vista, all flying effortlessly at the same time.
Appreciate any idea because I’m running out of them. Thanks in advance.
