Can't Get Internet To Connect Certain Programs
Oct 28, 2011
Internet works on internet browsers, msn, skype but is limited or does not work on utorrent, webcam chat, all games requiring internet e.g. steam, bf3, starcraft2
I have no idea what the problem is and it use to work fine.
I've recently did a fresh windows 7 install too but no fix.
We have 2 routers connected to the one major router which feeds 7 ppl in the house. Most people use wireless but i use ethernet cable. I tried switching between ethernet and wireless but there was no difference. I tried portfowarding but no luck there. Everyone seems to be fine except me. I use avast AV and have put exclusions in and turned on gaming mode on. Firewall doesn't seem to be the issue here. For utorrent I have the green tick on connections but wont connect to seeds or peers.
Also tried making myself DMZ and turned on and off UPnP
Windows 7 ultimate x64
Intel� Core�2 Quad CPU Q8400 @ 2.66GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260

AIM works fine and the IM chat program in Steam works fine, but the browser for Steam does not, nor does Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Internet Explorer, or Lord of the Rings Online. Many other programs claim they cannot connect to the internet, such as Lavasoft Ad-Aware when it checks for updates, etc.
I use Opera to get online, which works fine. My computer with Windows 7 is connected straight to my 2-Wire modem via ethernet cable, and my laptop with Vista which is connected wirelessly has absolutely no internet issues whatsoever.
I've turned off my firewall, I've checked the exceptions list, I've uninstalled my antivirus, I've turned off Windows Defender, I've checked my LAN settings, I've checked my modem, I've reset the winsock, I've reset the TCP/IP, I've gone through my services in the Windows Management: I've done pretty much everything I know of and nothing works.

I'm currently running a 64bit Windows 7 Home Premium and recently, programs other than Windows Live Messenger, Skype, and my browser stopped working. Coincidentally, every program that stopped working connects using the internet. My IE Lan settings were already checked as "Do not use a proxy" along with every other browser I use. I tried using MSConfig and turning off everything in the boot menu. I've scanned for Malware using Malwarebytes and I'm currently scanning my computer with AVG. My resident shield for AVG is off, my avast shields are off, and my windows firewall is off.

I've had windows 7 for months now on my new computer, but one day programs just seemed to stop working on the internet. First it was chrome, then it was a few games. Occasionally when I restart my computer everything can connect again. But it's starting to be more frequent that I can't. However, skype has managed to connect 100% of the time. I also noticed that it takes quite awhile for the computer to connect to the internet.
So far I've tried making new user accounts, renewing my ip, and uninstalling some new programs, but no luck at all. My antivirus picked up an infection but cleaned it, it's nod32 AV5.
edit: Ran windows 7 help and it found that it can't connect to the DNS server.

just last night after i was finished playing skyrim for the night, i saw on steam that i had no connection. so i looked towards the internet bars icon next to the clock and saw a yello triangle with a "!" in it. so i disconnected and reconnected but still the yellow "!". so i just decided i would try again tomorrow (today).when i woke up today it didn't have that error, so i decided to go to Internet on chrome, but it had that "webpage not available" (wouldn't work for ie either). i figured it would soon fix itself like it always had, so i tried playing mw3 on my xbox, but it wouldn't connect to live either o.o and when my mom wanted to watch netflix on the living room xbox, she couldn't connect either! then i figured out it was definatly my modem that was refusing to connect to anything.

i recieved my new lenovo z570 ideapad yesterday...i'll just put some of the spec down incase you want to know.
proccessor: intel i5 (second gen)
graphics: nvidia geforce
os: windows 7 64bit
yadayadayada...
anyway, after charging it up and turning it on, i started to install programmes and other bits and bobs. e.g ituens, flash player. just the usual essentials. i used the laptop to watch videos on Internet, genenral browing such as facebook, so in short, the internet was working fine. just before i went to bed that night i installed avg security (free version) and ran a full scan. when the scan finished, i put the laptop into hibernate, and went to sleep! happy in the knowledge my new gizmo was running smoothly!
just before i woke up i heard the laptop turn off as it had run out of charge. so i plugged it in and charged it up, then turned it on. this is where the problem starts...i connected via wifi however the logo at the bottom right of the screen showed the signal strength meter on empty, with a yellow star covering it. i clicked the icon, and it said, 'not connected, connections are available' and below shows im connected with 5/5 signal strength, but on 'limited access'.
1) there might be a problem with the driver for the local area connection adapter
2)there might be a problem with the driver for the wireless network connection adapter
there are 28 updates, but im unable to update them as i have no internet connection. i also cant connect via the ethernet cable.i cant roll back the drivers as there are no previously installed ones, and i cant update them as i am already up to date.my other laptop (acer aspire 5630 running on vista) works perfectly fine using wifi and the ethernet cable, so i honestly dont know whats wrong. after reading things on my acer about ways to fix the problem i came to the decision to restore the laptop to the time of my first installation which was adobe flash player (which i installed the day before.) i was unable to do a full factory reset as the only options available are to either restore to a backup, or re-install windows (which requires a disc, which i dont have). i also didnt configure a backup as i had only had the laptop a day!

I CAN connect to internet just fine using my wifi BUT I CAN NO LONGER connect to 198.192.1.1!!! Any idea how to solve this problem? I'm using a Dell Insprion 1545 and Win7 32-bit. I never had this issue before, jut popped up when I tried using ICS on a different laptop, an IBM thinkpad T42 also using Win7 and connected to the same network via wifi. Again I can connect to the internet just fine on all my laptops, but 192.168.1.1 (for my netgear router) returns "unable to connect" page!!! have verified (via ipconfig) that my gateway ip is 192.168.1.1. I have valid IPs on all the laptops, but cannot connect to router setup page.

I've had this problem for a couple months, but have ignored it until now because it is hindering my ability to sync my iPhone. Essentially, any uploading-related activity that requires my computer to communicate with a network is not working. I can't connect the iTunes store in order to sync my phone, I can't attach files to my Gmail and there've been a couple other instances I can't recall where I couldn't connect through a program. My browsers work fine and I can download files easily -- it just seems like the uploading function does not work. Possible virus?

When I open IE all I get is "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page." I know it is connecting to the internet because it downloaded the updates. I downloaded AVG, Adaware SE and Spybot Search and Destroy on another computer. I put these files on a cd. I tried to install AVG and Spybot but they wouldn't install because they couldn't connect to the internet to get the necessary files to install. I've had this problem on friends computer some time ago but can't remember exactly what I did to fix it

I am fixing my mom's cousin's laptop Dell Inspiron 1750, which is unable to access the internet. This system runs Windows 7 and can't connect to any router wirelessly. The ethernet port on the laptop also has some bent pins in it, so it can't connect through wire either. The first thing I did when I looked at this computer was connect it to my wireless router and I got the limited connectivity symbol in the taskbar. So I tried to ping and did ipconfig /release and /renew in cmd and that didn't work. I also did a /flushdns and that didn't work. So I went into the internet options and checked if the DNS setting were set to acquire automatically and they are. I have also uninstalled the dell wireless utility as I find it bloatware and unnecessary. I uninstalled the WLAN driver and reinstalled it and that didn't do anything. I then went into safe mode with networking and discovered that I was able to connect wirelessly there. So i figured it could have been the antiviruses (McAfee) firewall or malware of some kind. I downloaded malwarebytes and scanned and found nothing so I uninstalled malwarebytes and so I figured it was McAfee.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1. I'm on an Asus G51Jx laptop.I'm currently at my grandparents house, and naturally they have no idea what their wireless password is. In order to avoid changing it (and possible having some awkward confrontations with my uncle) I'm trying to connect to their internet using WPS (on a 2wire router, if that's any help).Now, I was able to use my blackberry to connect with WPS, but I haven't had the same success with my laptop. According to the Windows help site, I should be getting a window that looks like this, but all I'm getting is this window.

The last few days I've been having trouble accessing a website on my ISP so I downloaded a program called MaskSurf to get around the problem. It reduced my connection speed a bit but nothing serious. Today when I went to boot up my computer, I can't access the internet at all.

I very recently got rid of a trojan with the guidance of others. To be sure it was gone, they recommended I use combofix. After running the program, I am now unable to connect to the internet. I've run the network adapter troubleshooter which tells me "There might be a problem with the driver for the network bridge adapter."

I just bought a new PC and a Linksys USB network adapter. The adapter manages to connect to the router, however I do not have internet access. This is weird because all the other computers in my house are able to connect to the internet no problem. This is the second adapter I bought that has this problem they worked on another computer so that isn't the problem. What's weird is that when I tethered internet from my phone, I was able to connect my PC to my phone. I have all the drivers up to date.

I turn my PC off and go to work. I come home and turn it on, click on Google Chrome and... Can't connect. My PS3 and my moms laptop can connect and when I click on the icon for the internet connection it doesn't show any problemsI ran an anti virus scan, then crap cleaner and then a system restore and it still doesn't connect.I tried connecting and disconnecting it from the modem and still nada. I have no idea what is wrong and hope it is a simple fix,Ok now I just turned the modem off and back on and now the internet icon has the yellow ! sign I run detect a problem and it tells me it is configured just fine but it still doesn't work.Restarted PC, and the yellow ! is gone but it still won't connect.

I am not sure what is going on but I cannot connect to the Internet and Windows Network Diagnostics says that the DNS sever is not responding. I have it set to obtain an IP address and a DNS server automatically... Still doesn't work.
If you want me to tell you what ipconfig/all says please tell me exactly what you are looking for because I actually have no way of getting a file from my computer onto my phone right now. However the default gateway, dhcp, and DNS are all 192.168.2.1 while the ipv4 is 192.168.2.2 <preferred>.
Also, this happened when I had an iPad in transferring music, and I unplugged my Internet wireless adapter and plugged it into a different USB port, or at least I think that is when it happened. At any rate I got a message saying something about an IP address conflict which I did not pay much attention to.
One other detail is that it is not just my computer that can't connect. My iPhone and my friends iPad that I had plugged in so I could transfer music from my iTunes to his iPad cannot connect either..

My router has been acting strange and after I reset it I've been unable to go online.I tried pinging a few areas to determine the source of the problem but I'm still confused. Here's my "ipconfig /all" record which also shows the addresses I successfully and unsuccessfully pinged.-Running Windows 7 starter 32bit.-It's probably not the network drivers as I've been able to connect to other routers perfectly fine.
