LAN and WLAN not working after latest Windows Update

Uploaded the DNS info from before running the .bat file on the Network Posting Tips page. Is this what you meant?

Try to renew your IP address. This is for Vista, too.

Released and then renewed the IP address, but it didn't appear to help.

I was fooled many times, so I try to disregard incidentals, if appropriate, like "After I updated" etc.
If we ignore that which can be a coincidence, there are several new possiblities

Are you sure that your nic card is OK?
Run a full anti virus scan and download and make a full updated scan with malwarebytes.

Way ahead of you there, haha. One of the first things I did after the problem reared its ugly head, was do a full scan with avira antivir and then malware bytes. Then I saw that some antivirus software interfered with some network processes, so I uninstalled them just for good measure.

My card should definitely be okay. I was using the internet the moment before I restarted my computer and everything was working perfectly.

Ping worked with 0% loss.

That means that your sending and receiving. Have to think

Still can't figure this one out...

Well, I finally gave in and reinstalled Vista. That seems to be the best bet to fixing the problem as it has been working since (even with the re-installation of all the Windows Updates.)

Thanks for all your help, richc46!

I was trying my best to avoid a reinstall, but since its done, Im glad that it worked. Best of luck to you
