| Jan 14, 2014 at 23:40 | comment | added | Gerad Bottorff | Hey jak138. It is a Windows 7 machine and in all my years of IT I have never seen this happen to a machine (hence my post here). | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 22:15 | comment | added | jak138 | Is 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 | |

| Jan 14, 2014 at 20:56 | comment | added | Gerad Bottorff | Booting into an Ubuntu live disk allows me to connect to the networks. I am guessing at this time that I need to re-install Windows. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 20:03 | comment | added | Gerad Bottorff | I don't know why I only thought of a re-install of Windows and not a live CD. Doh! Downloading one now to test. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 19:05 | comment | added | Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 | It 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. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 18:51 | comment | added | shinjijai | I would boot up to a linux live cd and see if networking works in there. | |
| Jan 14, 2014 at 18:41 | comment | added | Gerad Bottorff | I did that just after I posted this and it didn't work :( Thanks for the idea and response though! | |
