Hi!
Classic problem: internet not working. But I think it is more than "classic".
I have an Acer Asipire 5742-6643 Laptop, and since 2 days, wifi AND wired internet connection isn't working. Windows says that the network I'm conected have internet access. But Google Chrome can't access internet (DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET), Malwarebytes can't update, Internet Explorer crash at startup. BUT Windows Update CAN update, and Bitdefender is ok too ??? And I can Ping on command prompt
I scanned with Malwarebytes and Karpersky Rescue Disk. No threats
It happen after Bitdefender found a virus in a legit software (Babyware from Paradox). Coincidence? ::)
Specs:
Acer Aspire 5742-6643
Windows 7
Intel Core i5-480M
Thanks!!!
P.-S.: English is not my native language. Sorry if I made mistakes ;)
EDIT: New weird thing; Windows Update keeps installing the same update since yesterday (KB954430, about security for Microsoft XML Core Service Pack 2 for x64 CPU). Windows Update's bubble pop to notify a new update, so I accept. After a successful installation, the bubble pop again for the same update. In the update historic, this update appear 5 times!
What's wrong with this laptop?! Help please!

The Minitool box log doesn't show any connection. Have you tried re-setting your router? Have you tried a System Restore to a date before this started?
-
System Restore don't work, even with the antivirus disabled :-\ I reset the modem. This has not solved the problem.
But when I ran MiniToolBox, I forget to connect to the network (wired) :-[ So here is a new report!

There's something here in the log that doesn't seem correct. Could you please check your Device Manager to see if there are any yellow waring icons.
Unable to initialize Windows Sockets interface. Destination Address unreachable.
Server: Unknown
Address: NULL
-
You are right. There is a warning icon on the Virtual WiFi Miniport Adaptater :o Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)
I googled and found this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725873(v=ws.10).aspx (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725873(v=ws.10).aspx) Should I follow these steps?
-
Yes, go ahead and give it a try.
-
I unistalled the device and his driver, then install back. The warning icon is gone ("This device is working properly"), but still no internet access ::)
-
Ok, run the MiniToolbox again and I take another look at the log.
-
Do you want me to run it on WiFi or wired connection?
-
Hi! I ran the MiniToolbox on WiFi and on wired connection.
I suspect the modem to be the source of the problem, because since 2 days internet is slow on almost every device in the house (tablet, smartphone, PC). I tested with Speedtest.net and I get ping of 1500ms (normal: 30-40ms) and speed of 1.2mb/s (normal: 4-5mb/s). I tested on almost every device. Only one device has a normal speed.
The modem is a modem-router TP-Link TD-W8960N v1 and it is 3 years old.

I'm still not seeing any connection on both logs. It must be the modem. Did you reset it?
-
Yes I reset it 2 days ago.
-
is there any chance of trying another computer or laptop on that modem?
-
My PC is plugged on the same modem-router and works fine (Internet is not slow anymore). The 3 tablet connected by Wifi to that modem-router works fine too.
I went to McDonald today with the laptop and it couldn't access internet on the McDonald's wifi either.
-
Are you certain that the internet switch on the laptop is not turned off?
-
Pretty sure, because Bitdefender and Windows Update have access to internet
-
Try safemode with networking and or removing Hamachi from your system.
-
Thank you jason2074 for your reply! :)
Safe mode with network doesn't work. I removed Hamachi, but still the same.
-
What was Babyware Paradox for? I'm Not familiar with the software.
-
Babyware is a software related to security system, but I don't know exactly what it is for. My dad uses it.
I'm suspecting a Windows corruption. I think I'll re-install Windows and everything... :-\ It seems to be the only solution
-
I unistalled the device and his driver, then install back. The warning icon is gone ("This device is working properly"), but still no internet access ::)
-
Have you tried this MS article? (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246727) if its of the same case with your computer? If yes, please backup the registry or read How to back up and restore the registry in Windows from the given link.
-
I don't find the "Windows Setup tab"... :-[
It is not exactly the same case with my computer, but I want to give it a try anyway, since my next step is to format :'(
-
Your could also try a repair install.
-
I did a repair install. So now everithing is fine!
Thank you Jason2074 and SuperDave for all the time you took to help me! :D
