Alright, this is my first post on here. I'm on my phone so please excuse anything autocorreect might've done.

Ok, so I get home from school today and all of a sudden my Internet is not working. I've restarted my router and done all the dns-related commands. My computer say the Internet is connected but when I try to actually use Chrome or anything else that uses Internet, it won't work. My dad's laptop is able to use the Internet by Wi-Fi fine. I'll take any help I can get.

NOTE: I know I sound young, and I am, but I'm fairly knowledgeable with computers (I built this one), however, this has me stumped. I'm willing to do anything you suggest.

Attempt a factory reset, might be tedious, but it may work. Also make sure you're connected to a single internet connection by going to Control panel > Network and Internet > Network and sharing center. Where it says "View your active networks", Make sure there is only a single network (Note: If you are using Hamachi, you're fine). If there is another network or more, right click on them and disable them manually. If you have a fairly newer router, go into it's online panel and make sure the Ethernet port that you're connected to is enabled (Not likely to happen, unless someone who has access to your router manually tampers.)

I only have one network connected. (Plus Hamachi) Any other tips?
