Personal laptop crashed yesterday - replaced hard drive and performed complete re-install utilizing OEM reinstall discs (ThinkPad T60 - probably my 10th reinstall with same discs)
a) Tried opening up IE and unable to open any website.- nothing
b) Performed pings and tracerts - can ping yahoo with no issues
c) Verified NICs, verified IEEE802 verification - check
d) Verified LAN connection looking for proxy - changed it to automatic vs. unchecked - no change using either option
e) Installed Firefox - same result / verified LAN Connectivity / change to automatic and blank - both tests negative
f) Ran ipconfig - everything resolves correctly -
g) Ran ipconfig /all - dns servers resolve correctly
h) Connected 2nd laptop to network, everything works as should
i) Connected to another network - repeated same process with no joy to internet via either browser.
j) verified hosts files
k) turned off firewall - no joy
l) hard coded ip - no joy
m) all pings and tracerts all come back as normal - times are good
n) turned off wireless, hardwired - still no joy and vice versa
o) left both of them on and connected both of them, still no joy
Lastly - opened up account on techspot and waived white flag...clueless at this point. Fixin to flatten this puppy but I decided I would see if I could learn something instead.
Haven't upgraded NIC drivers at present but thought it was something else since the pings are working. Will upgrade after resolving this.
All help is appreciated and highly encouraged!
TIA,
Rick
