2 Identical laptop but only 1 able to connect to internet.

moused over the wireless icon and it says Internet Access. Tried troubleshooting and although it acknowledges that it cannot access websites, it still couldn't detect any problems.

Yes the IPv4 is on auto, changing the DNS server to use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 does not work too. Browsers, on IE and firefox does not have any proxies.

oh haha, my mistake. Anyway 8.8.4.4 doesn't work either. Yes, im using WPA2. Disconnecting and reconnecting the wireless/router still remains the same.

below is the ipconfig/all incase you might find it useful.

Haha, yes , wireless is turned on. What i heard from my brother is that it started right after a windows update yesterday. Even tethering using his mobiles data does not work. For some reason,the update cleared all the previous system restore points so there is no point before the update to restore back into.

Anyway, here is the result from the program.
