  1. I have my internet connection saying it is connected but whenever I go onto firefox it tells me it couldnt connect.

    ipconfig tells me it encountered an error, repairing connection tells me it can't get into tcp/ip settings. I have tried resetting winsock.

    I'm currently not at my computer and I'm being forced to rush, so if you need more specific error messages just tell me and I will post with my phone.

    Post ipconfig /all
    You may be connected to your LAN, but not the internet.

    Few Questions first, was it working previous to the time you just tried it? Or is this the first time your trying to use it?

    If it was working before,
    1. Did you change anything on the computer (New programs, download/install anything??)
    2. Did you try reinstalling the device via device manager?
    3. Did you check for a Static IP?
    4. Reset the router?
    5. Reset the Modem?
