    Computer wont connect to Internet

    Ok Guys this is a tough one, This is honestly the first PC problem that I cannot fix, this one is over my head. Here is the problem: The Computer(crappy HP) wont connect to the internet, I have localized the problem to the PC as I have internet connection to my Xbox (wired) and my Laptop(wireless). I have also swapped out Ethernet cables but that still doesnt do it.

    When I go into the Network connections on the control panel and open the LAN status page, the PC is not sending or receiving any packets. It always says there is no Network Access on the IPv4 or IPv6. I have tried disabling and enabling this LAN and did a system restore but still nothing.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Is it getting an IP address?

        7, Im going to reset the IP as you ha mentioned right now as I seem to recall it being 169 I will tell you if that worked

        Ok I just tried giving it a new IP which seems to have failed. When I go see what the Ip is (IPconfig) the screen just flashes dos real quick and goes away . When I unplug the Ethernet cable from the modem it recognizes that it is disconnected but it still will not connect when I plug it back in and reset everything.

          Ok I just fixed the problem, My Anti-Virus Firewall was the culprit. Turn it off and now its good to go. Downloaded spybot Search n Destroy just for safe keepings. Either way, Thanks pa for jogging my memory, I honestly would not have thought of it if you had not mentioned the IP.

              Yea virus software is good for that. One free virus software I use is Avast Antivirus, its free and its does a good job plus it doesn't come with all the bloatware like norton and mcafee. Try it out they have 2 versions, free and paid. Ive been using the free version for about 4 years never had a problem.
