no internet connection

Is there logical reason why i can not get home work connection,because all i have able to get is a public network connection which appears to be why i can connect to the internet,it will not let me change it from public to home work station.

IHDPCS,

You can try the steps below to see if they will resolve this issue.

  1. DISABLE ALL NETWORK ADAPTERS
  2. ENABLE THE ADAPTER THAT'S ONLY SHOWING UP THE UNCHANGEABLE PUBLIC NETWORK
  3. IN THE NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER, SELECT "CHOOSE HOMEGROUP AND SHARING OPTIONS"
  4. CLICK ON "WHAT IS THIS LOCATION?"
  5. SELECT HOME/WORK
  6. RE-ENABLE ALL OTHER ADAPTERS

You can also try the information below as well.

Control Panel --> Device Manager -->Network Adapters

Right Click on your WiFi Adapter and choose UNINSTALL

Leave the "delete driver" box UNCHECKED

Once the wifi adapter is gone, right click on "Network Adapters" and choose scan for hardware changes.  It will re-find your adapter.

Now go connect to the wireless network of your choice and in the network and sharing center the words "Public Network" should be a clickable link that you can then change to Home Work etc.

HI,JESSE L.,I tried all of your suggestions but i can not get anything to work.

I talked to a COMCAST TECH and he told they do not use a proxy server they use the automatic IPS settings.

and i am still getting the NOT A GENUINE COPY WINDOWS in the bottom right hand corner of screen and since i can not connect to the internet i can not get connected to M/S to put in my numbers to get authorization of my copy of WIN7.I did get the public to work/home changed but still have a big red X showing no connection to the internet.

HI,Heres where i am at today.

Well i hope i am not getting the cart before the horse,but i went REVO UNINSTALLER and totally removed AVAST from
my PC and so far i far i have a internet connection and the only way i found out about AVAST having a firewall was by
accident when i tried to disable said firewall i could not locate where it was at.
Revo said to restart PC to totally remove any and all remnants of AVAST,clicked on FIREFOX icon and i came in a blink of an eye doing updates right now just need to keep fingers crossed,GUESS WHO WILL NOT BE ON MY PC.
