hello there!

well my friend just got a new computer some weeks ago. Once he had it up and running he installed all the drivers for his MOBO from the MOBO manufacturers site, and all the windows updates. afther he restarted his computer he had no internet. I was convinced it was the network driver he had installed from the MOBO site. But afther rolling back this driver he stil had not internett, So I told him to go into "networking and internet" and hit reset network. This worked, and he had internet. Later he told me that this had happend several times, but that "reset network" always solved the problem.

Today he called me and told me he has no internet afther trying this quick fix. Also all his other devices(phone,laptop,xbox) works just fine via the same router. he also tried using the same eithernet cable on his laptop afther turning of the WIFI and he had internet on his laptop.
