3. Let's scale back the effort... Can the computer communicate reliably with your local area network's gateway (home router)?
Retest with the following commands (without the quotes and replace "<>" with the requested information):
a. "ping -n 20 127.0.0.1"
b. "ping -n 20 <your_computer's_IP_address>"
c. "ping -n 20 <your_local_gateway_address>"
a. "ping -n 20 127.0.0.1" 0% loss
b. "ping -n 20 <your_computer's_IP_address>" 0% loss
c. "ping -n 20 <your_local_gateway_address>" 0% loss
all 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>> sent = 20, received = 20, lost = 0 (0% loss)
i Got it. The problem was in a faulty ethernat card. i reconfigured my router to block the lan line and added a wireless connection. I then disabled the device and was then able to get on and browse no problem. The wierd thing is that my device manager says the ethernet card was functioning properly.
The weird thing is the ethernet card (hardware) is probably "good". Communicates successfully to LAN gateway with zero packet loss (using "ping" with twenty echo requests).
I'd look elsewhere for the problem... Or at least take a closer look at the card (test more rigorously - maybe more ping requests with larger "buffer" size).
Resource conflict?
