Here's what I got: Dell Inspiron 1525 Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz RAM 3GB Windows Vista Ultimate sp 1 32-bit Netwok Adapters: Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller As of about a few hours ago, and no problems previously I can no longe successfully connect to the internet via wireless or direct connect with the ethernet cable. It recognizes my wireless network, as well as the local area connection; however the red "x" sits between the network and the internet on the network and sharing center screen. And both connections show "local only". Now, to elimate some of the obvious answers, let me state some of the things I've attempted already: 1) I've reset numerously, including a factory reset on the modem/router/wireless router. And, no other computers have a problem getting on the internet via wireless or direct connect ethernet cable. 2) I've checked the ethernet cable I'm using on another compute and it works fine. 3) I've tried just about every cmd entry know including: ipconfig /release ipconfig /all ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /renew netsh int ip set dns netsh winsock reset 4) I've tried pinging the gateway, nothing. 4 sends, 0 repies 5) I've tried manually plugging in all the IPv4 protocols manually; default gateway, DNS, and nothing. Setting it to automatic doesn't do anything either. 6) I've used every repair and diagnose option I could see on windows, nothing. 7) I've checked device manager to see if my network adapters were working properly, and they were, checked for driver updates, none. Uninstalled both devices, then ran a "scan for new hardware" which located them and reinstalled them. Still nothing. 8) Tried different browsers, nothing. 9) Ran an entire "full scan" with Avast, and afterwards still nothing. Had Avast do a boot-time scan. Didn't fix anything. 10) Booted to "safe mode with networking". Still didn't connect. What vexes me is no other machine has an issue connecting to the internet either wirelessly or ethernet connection, and my devices are recognizing a connection, but there are no packets received at all. Please help! I consider myself a fairly savvy individual when it comes to this stuff, but I'm at wits end, and I've been getting nothing but the most captain obvious answers from previous people that I've done over and over again to no avail.
