Hi Guys

So I have a problem that does not make sense to me. A friend of mine has a custom build desktop pc. The pcworked fine and so forth but all of sudden it wont open any websites even though it shows that he is connected to the network. When you check the connection it says that it is connected but there is no internet access. His laptop and other devices connects and works 100%. I then took his pc over to my place and connected the it to my network via a network cable (note that at his place it is also connected via cable) and it has internet access. Works fine, we ruled out that it is not his router etc. Can someone please help?
 
Solution
I'd open CMD (Command Prompt) and do 'ipconfig /renew' than allow the computer to reset it's IP addressing and get another IP. That should get rid of that issue. It does happen periodically to me at a other places that's not home.

I'd also update the Ethernet drivers as well.

I hope this helps in some way!
