My laptop's Wi-Fi connection shows connected, but I'm not able to access Internet through any application.

Hi. I'm using a HP Pavilion G6 laptop and I upgraded to Windows 8.1 last week.

My problem is that my laptop says it is connected to the home Wi-Fi network, but I'm not able to access the internet through any applications, be it chrome, utorrent, or any games. Every other device in my home is able to connect and I can properly use the internet without issue.

This happened last week and I found out that a McAfee update was to blame. Unfortunately the same solution did not work work. I'm now out of options.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

No Internet or Unable to Go Online

Here are some easy to do steps that might save you dollars in hiring a technician to solve your internet problem. If one does not work then move on to the next step:

1. If the problem is browser related then resetting the browser would fix the issue. This would work if the problem was only browser related in the first place. Please note this would erase any saved passwords/history on the browser.

a). You can reset Internet Explorer by opening Run window, typing inetcpl.cpl, clicking okay, click on Advanced tab, click Reset below, then checking the check box Delete Personal Settings, and then hitting reset.

b.) You can reset Mozilla Firefox by typing firefox.exe –safe-mode in the Run Window and following the prompts.

c. You can reset Google Chrome by clicking the three lines button on top right corner, going to settings on left hand side, then at the bottom on right hand side you would get the option to Reset Settings (if you don’t get this option, you would need to click on Show Advanced Settings option first).

Found this at vistaheads.com
Run cmd
When cmd shows, right click and choose "log in as administrator"

Type the following commands;
ipconfig/flushdns then hit enter
Netsh int ip reset then hit enter

The system will request a reboot. Reboot/restart

On start up
Run the command prompt as administrator again
Type Netsh winsock reset

The system will request a reboot. Reboot/restart
Reboot,
That's it!

This worked for me after after two days of online searching.
