Windows 7 desktop and laptop browsers stopped working even though connected to internet

I have Fios connection for more that a year and I have ActionTec router.  Yesterday 2 of windows 7 devices stopped working on the browsers .   None of the browsers IE, Chrome, Firefox work on these machines.
I know the internet is connected as I can see ip addresses using ipconfig and use ftp to remote machines.   I also see downloads for autoupdates are working as network panels show downloads going on.
I have Kaspersky and it shows no virs activity.  
On network panel it shows devices are connected to the router. I also tried wired connection but browsers on win 7 are not working.   
I have tried winsock reset, ipconfig /renew and netip reset as some of users have sggested.   I have also tried sing 8.8.8.8 with 8.8.4.4 but still same issue.
Please help

I'd go into internet options and under connections tab and check if a proxy was added.
commonplace now a days for malware and virus's to add proxy settings that divert your traffic, and unintended consequence is that you lose your connection when they are done siphoning whatever it was they were trying to get.
With a proxy server configured, you will still be able to ping outbound, and tcp udb functions will work fine like downloads and ftp, and torrents, but anything that requires a domain may get invalid responses when their server goes offline.
check them here.
when you get to this window, leave everything unchecked, OR only the first auto detect

    Try rebooting the ipad by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

  • Internet stops working even though connected?

    So I've been having this problem for about a week or so now...my internet will be fine and connected and then suddenly it stops working even though it still says it's connected to the network. Then I just turn my airport off and then back on and it works again. It only happens on my computer, all the other computers/laptops in the house are working fine...any ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix it???

    what kind of router? i am having same issue sometimes. i have linksys wrt54gs and im connected to router, but no internet, but everyone else in the house is on windows and gets internet connection.

  • Working with Lightroom between a Windows desktop and laptop

    Please forgive me if there appears to be an obvious answer to this question.  I'm sure a lot of it has to do with work flows.
    I have both a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit desktop and laptop both with Adobe CC (Photoshop CC 2014 & Lightroom 5.6) installed.
    I always treat my desktop as my "Main" machine as it holds ALL of my 10,000 odd images all stor ed in a folder structure.
    As a very new Lightroom user, I'm slowly starting to bring all these images into a LR catalogue folder by folder, but this will take some time.
    My actual question is how can I edit a photo on my laptop in LR but ensure that the edited image is stored back in my Lightroom Catalogue on my desktop?   I hope this question makes sense.
    I don't store all my images up onto the cloud seeing we're talking just over 100GB.  It's not like LR Mobile where one can select an image or collection to Sync and my understanding is that it appears on your Lightroom Mobile; I'm an android person and so yes,  am STILL waiting for an android version of Lightroom Mobile
    Thank you all for your patience with a newbie LR user

    Do the editing on the laptop, then use the Lightroom command File->Export as Catalog, transfer the resulting files to the desktop, use the Lightroom command File->Import from Another Catalog

  • I can't access the internet with Firefox on my computer (Windows 7 PC). I have used Firefox as my browser for 1 year but 5 days ago it stopped working even though Internet Explorer worked fine. I can't solve the problem and need some help.Randy Brown

    September 26, 2011
    Dear Mozilla,
    I am having some difficulty accessing the internet with Firefox on one of my PC computers. I normally use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser and google is my homepage and gmail is my email system. The operating system is Windows 7. For over a year this system worked perfectly but a few days ago it stopped working. When I launch Firefox now I get the message that that website (www.google.com) is unavailable. In fact, I can’t access any website and I am blocked from the internet entirely within Firefox. My internet connection is fine because Internet Explorer works fine. I can access google and any other website within that web browser. I have investigated all the security issue I can manage and found no smoking gun. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox to no avail. Is Windows 7 compromising the effectiveness of Firefox? Any suggestions or other assistance you can offer would be appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Randy Brown

  • HELP! In middle of upgrade to windows 8 and keyboard/trackpad stopped working!

    Hey all, new mac user here. Just bought a new macbook air 13" 2014 model. I succedded in installing windows 7 via bootcamp via a usb drive and was in the middle of installing a downloadable windows 8 upgrade (at a preferences page when they ask you to select your favorite color) when my macbook's keyboard/trackpad stopped functioning. I plugged in a usb mouse and that would not work either. I have absolutely no clue as to what to do next. If I had to install some driver or thing please tell me how to cancel the windows 8 install and return to windows 7. Thanks for all your help strangers

    I was not able to find any drivers specifically for the web cam. I did find software to use the camera, but that was all I could find.
    However, I do have a question about the Windows 8 upgrade process that was used.
    Did you do an in-place upgrade or a clean install of Windows 8?
    Go back to device manager. Is there anything here at all in an other category indicating it is having some type of an issue?
    There are certain events that will need to happen.
    Go to the start screen and search for uninstall a program. Select this option in the settings category.
    This should take you to the Desktop app and show the familiar uninstall a program feature from Windows 7.
    Select add/remove Windows Components on the left.
    Is Framework 3.5 checked here? If not, enable this and install it.
    Then, install the HP framework which is needed for some HP programs. This is a Windows 7 installation, but it should go through.

    Once that is finished, reboot the system.
    Let me know what happens.

  • My charger just stopped working even though the light turns on

    My charger just stopped working and I got my laptop less then two weeks ago, the green light turns on then turns orange and shows it is charging but the battery doesn't increase it decreases as if I never had the charger connected, what can I do? I have no insurance for my laptop.

    As Csound1 sugessted bring it back and exchange it before the 14 day window expires. Take advantage of it.

  • Blackberry Desktop Manager 6.1 stops works when I connect by bold 9780

    Hi
    I've downloaded Desktop Manager 6.1 but when I attach my Bold 9780 and it starts to initialise the connection I get a dialogue box up saying "The destop manager has stopped working". Windows looks for a solution but can't find one. Following some suggestions on this forum, I saved the software and unzipped it manually but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions.

    Same problem here but I can't find a solution anywhere. 
    I've been looking for a version of 6.0 because that worked but there don't seem to be any out there.

    The easiest way to fix your app problems is to use your computer and iTunes. Download the updated apps and sync. All fixed. Do that first and then we will work on your Wifi problem.

  • Ipad2 - I have a sim card, the 3g has stopped working even though I have bars and it says I have a 3g connection, safari tells me there is no connection... please help

    It was initially working but has now stopped the bars are showing as a strong signal , it says Telstra 3G but I cannot get onto any webpages on safari or any other app that needs internet connection. Please help.

    You need to restore your iPad from iTunes.
    Start iTunes.
    Plug in your iPad using the USB cable.
    Click on the iPad in the left hand column under "Devices".
    In the "Summary" tab, there are options to Back up, Update and Restore.
    Choose Restore, choose the backup and let it run.

    If your old iPad was capable of receiving data on the go, without wifi, then you have a SIM installed. Best to check anyway. You need either the tool supplied in the box, or the end of a paper clip to open the tray

  • Itunes will not retrieve cd info even though connected to internet

    for some reason, when i open itunes now, a box opens saying that itunes was not properly installed and will not retrieve cd info until I reinstall itunes. I'm worried that if I do this I will lose all my music and playlists. I admit, I'm new to itunes/ipod, so any help is much appreciated.

    Reinstalling should not lose your playlists or music, but just to be safe, make a copy of this file
    iTunesLibrary.itl
    Put it in a temp folder, or on your desktop. It is the database file that itunes uses. You might need to change Win Explorer to show file extensions.
    I always back up that file before I upgrade or reinstall iTunes.

  • Internet stops working after being connected for 5 minutes to wifi

    My macbook pro running on os x mavericks is giving me an issue. After 5 minutes  of connection with the wifi network, the internet stops working even though its connected the network. Reconnecting fixes it for yet another 5 minutes.

    Might be corrupted network preferences ..
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
    See if that makes a difference.
    Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

    Hello becky81464
    If you were able to load websites until you updated Firefox, your Internet security software (including firewalls, antivirus programs, anti-spyware programs, and more) is likely preventing Firefox from connecting to the Internet, see [http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet firewalls]
