Network issue!

no other changes. Patches were general ones, nothing huge. Dad has same patches, not affected his, obviously all configs different though.

Running system scan now via cmd window, see what that brings up

100% and issue with Windows 7. Never seen anything like it.

Also to do an nslookup. GO to start -> run -> cmd

then type nslookup

then at the prompt type > google.co.uk (then press enter)

It should return a result like the one attached. (Oh lookie my ISP support IPV6 :slayer

Did you run this from the command prompt (in an elevated cmd window):-

netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

followed by:

netsh winsock reset c:\winsock.txt

Then:-

arp -d

If you can ping 192.168.1.254 and get a response then it must be an issue in the fact Windows 7 isn't using it as a Default GW (even in though in the config it is) OR your router / homehub POS is discarding the traffic....

Yeah I did the exact same as the above mate. As above, will do the nslookup and let you know. I think all the crucial steps have been taken though, nevertheless, its worth a try.

after all that, problem solved. McAfee was blocking the connection. Had to remove it completely, disabling didnt work.

 

[ChrisUK]

What a pile of crap lol.

 

[AgnessGP]

i know mate, should have took it off first. Now using kaspersky (had some licenses knocking about)

 

[Numptey]

You had McAfee all this time, even a dumbass like me knows you delete that as soon as you find it lol. I am currently using Microsoft Security Essentials and have not had a single issue, tried others and they just suck the life out of my PC and as I am windows based on everything, it just seems to work fine

I got it free so the plan was to stick it on then purchase one when it runs out, problem is, it lasts a year lol. It was fine for a few months then began running into problems i.e. not allowing an internet connection
