Try to reset the TCP/IP stack by running this command in an elevated command prompt : netsh int ip reset– shinjijaiCommented Jan 14, 2014 at 18:36

1I would boot up to a linux live cd and see if networking works in there.– shinjijaiCommented Jan 14, 2014 at 18:51

1It could be several different things causing this. Exactly as @shinjijai suggests - you need to troubleshoot and determine if the hardware is broken. Booting from a different OS (like a LiveCD, or using a fresh Windows install) is the best/easiest way to determine that.– Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007Commented Jan 14, 2014 at 19:05

1Is this a windows vista machine? I've had problems in the past with certain updates disabling internet access (not network) for no apparent reason. Havn't heard of it on any other OS so if its not then my theory is shot =P– jak138Commented Jan 14, 2014 at 22:15

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
