Connected to internet... but not web pages display

[Joemoma]

Ok, so i have this Sony Vaio All-in-one PC, it says i have internet connection but when i open up a web browser it says "cannot display page".  I have physically taken the Computer to another location, new router, new ISP, new everything, and still same situation of internet connection without web pages....

 

 

Any Suggestions??

 

Thanks in advance and love you all! =))

start

run

type cmd..press enter

type ipconfig press enter

take a screen shot and see if its giving you a proper IP address

if you have any security software/firewall...uninstall it and reboot

 

reset the host file as well

I would say go into the browser's options and find a clear all settings and add ons option. I want to say an unwanted extension may be causing it.

highly unlikely

some piece of system level software is blocking it

#2 on my list of things to do 

 

Open up the Start menu - type cmd on the search - right click the Windows Command Processor and choose Run as Admin - type ping www.google.com and press enter

If you get a timeout, then you have a problem with your connection. If you get a successful response, there could be something wrong with your browser. Try some other browser.

Thanks, that should help narrow it down a little

[Enderman]

do "ipconfig /flushdns" in CMD

Which browser?

 

Are you using a firewall?

 

Do you have a rogue anti-virus?

sounds like a dns problem, do what enderman said and also make sure that your network adapter doesnt have a random dns typed into it. go to control panel -> network and internet -> network and sharing center -> change adapter settings. right click on your wired or wireless adapter you are using and click properties. click on internet protocol version 4 and click the properties button below the box. Make sure under the general tab here that obtain dns server address automatically is selected.

@SnafuPossum @techguru ,  as a last resort... would a re-install of Windows 7  fix this?

Yea... i ended up just reinstalling windows. it was a clients computer. but luckily he didnt need to save the data... i was just trying to figure out how to fix the problem without having to Reinstall just for the knowledge. but oh well
