Been having troubles connecting to my internet for about a week now. Only one computer has a problem, all others in the house xbox and other comp rather can connect. So, I know it can't been the modem or isp. It says I'm connected however I can't access anything related to the internet. I tried ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew. and nothing happened, so I'll list some info that might help you guys with my problem.

Hi Valentine, welcome to CTH :wave:

First thing I notice is that your DNS search is looking for a different DNS server - not something I've ever noticed before, although it IS quite possible that the two IP addresses are NIC or teamed NIC IP adds for a cluster of DNS servers at Columbus.

The IP add from your /ALL, is it a typo? should it by 192.160.x.y pr 192.168.x.y ?

Also, is the nForce NIC built onto the motherboard or is it on a riser card?
And what is the OS of that particular PC, as I understand the NVIDIA's have some serious driver issues in Vista.

It was a typo, I'm sorry

IP Address : 192.168.1.101.

OS is Windows XP.
