Can't see Internet but computer can on Linux

[dougmack]

I dual boot a computer with windows 10 and PCLinuxOS. PCLOS can connect to the Internet OK,
can ping the server, all is normal. Windows 10 can no longer see the Internet, cannot pin the server, cannot upgrade anything, etc. What do I do now?

Use linux to check the motherboard manufacturers web site for new win 10 drivers. See if they have new lan drivers, or if not, check the maker of the NIC itself and see if they do.

Can try the internet connections troubleshooter, as well as the network adapter troubleshooter

What are the specs of the pc?

I did try the internet troubleshooter, and like most Microsoft repair programs, it found nothing and was useless. I don't know why a new driver would help--the
internet was working when I installed the update (from 8.1). It could be the fault of some program I installed, but looking at the dates of new programs in the download directory does not clue me in to a program that might be at fault. Specs on the home-brewed machine are as follows, per Linux inxi -F:
MOBO: Foxconn G41MXE/G41MXE/K/ Bios American Megatrends v 080015 dated 10/14/2010. CPU: Intel Core2 duo E8600; Graphics card NVidia GF116 (GeForce GTX 550 Ti);Network card (not the one on the MOBO) Realtek RTL8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet controller driver r8169 (Don't know if this is a Linux
driver or a Windows driver--all I know is what inxi reports.)IF: eth1 state: up speed: 1000MBPS duplex: full. I don't remember why I'm not using the mobo Ethernet connection, but I would npt have put in the card (which cost me a slot) if I didn't have to. Drives: Samsung SSD 850, 250 GiB. (2). Partitioning:
sda1, sda2: Windows, sda6,sda7CLOS. sdb1 empty; sdb5: Linux Mint; sdb6: empty; sdb7,sdb8: PCLOS backup; sdb9: Linux swap.
Yes, I know I should have put a Windows backup (or whatever it's called by MS) on sdb1, but I didn't. Does any of this help?
