   No, It’s not a virus, but a misconfiguration in your TCP/IP, DNS, and DHCP servers.

   No. your hardware has nothing to do with it.

   It could be a third party firewall that the Rules have blocked you in.

   Who are you connecting to the Internet through. Your IPCONFIG settings indicate that this computer is a DHCP client receiving internal IP address such as 192.168.100.11. It leads me to believe you have either an internal Windows Server you are connecting through or you manually entered in numbers you thought was right. Especially for your DNS Server. Your DNS server if you are connecting through your home server cannot be 4.2.2.1. Who set your internal network connections up?

   If you are going through your provider, then the you want to make sure that your network adapter settings is set to their DNS servers and the Default Gateway is also set to theirs. Until you have these changed and your IP address is no longer a 192.168.100.xx you will never be able to connect. It’s simply because if your internal server cannot connect, then those computers on it’s domain receiving tcp/ip address will never connect also.

   Long story short….If it’s an internal network, then make sure your server is able to connect. If you are receiving ISP service through a provider, have them reset your network connections AFTER you manually adjust your tcp/ip settings to receive the proper DNS, Gateway, and IP addresses from them. Good Luck. I hope this explains it a little why you can no longer connect.

   I’ve been having internet connection problems for a week too…Maybe they’re doing service or something and it’s not us!
