I've been searching for 3 days straight but can't find a solution. My computer won't connect to the internet even though in the task bar it shows it is. So far the internet is working for all other computers around the house except mine. Also it's connected through the Ethernet cord. It stopped working after reinstalling windows 7 os, so I don't think it's a virus. I've reset the modem and router many times but no luck as well as trying to trouble shoot through windows. It can't identify any problems most likely because it is "connected" even though it isn't. Any suggestion is appreciated, thanks in advance.
