Which version of Windows?  Are you trying to connect by ethernet or wireless?  What kind internet connection is it (cable or dsl)?    Steve

im having the same problem and i still haven't figured it out. a lot of people say to power down your modem and router for a couple minutes and that usually works although not in my case...

Do you have a suggestion if I cannot go online with my laptop that has the problem to use the 'fix' download?   I haven't tried to go to a wifi or somewhere that I could try to connect.

Accuracy is important here.  To help troubleshoot this problem, on the computer with the problem, go to Start > Run and type cmd then click OK. In the command prompt window that opens, type ipconfig /all then hit the enter key. Write down the output from this command or select it and save it to a txt file, then copy this output into a reply to this message.    Steve
