You could also run 'chkdsk /f' and reboot.
start with the basics and work up. you've eliminated the modem / router and the cable. might still be the device though. more than likely just a dodgy file or setting. just a case of eliminating those one by one. |
Rather than take any possible risk with my brothers laptop I ran sfc without a disk hoping it would at least alert me of any required action.
It ran the full long duration test and at the end of the progress bar the applet just went of the screen with no message, and I'm hoping that means it found nothing out of place.

Do me a favour (just to satisfy my curiosity):
Start > Control Panel > Network Connections
Right-click on your network adaptor
Select 'Status', then the 'Support' tab, then 'Details'
What do you have listed as the DNS servers? |
Hello Rob M I have checked what you asked, and there were two lines of DNS
First 194.168.4. ... and second 194.168.8. ...
