Okay. First off, let me start to explain the problem:
I happened to have been a beta-tester of Windows 8 on an older computer, and I happen to have three labtops (two older HP Pavilion's and a Sony VAIO).
One of these HP's had the beta, and I found it soothing and comfortable, so naturally when the operating system was officially released a few days ago, I chose to buy it and installed it on my VAIO.
I chose the "Download and upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8"-option, and off it went. In fact it took only 23 minutes to download the entire thing. When the installer was ready I selected the "Keep my files and my apps"-option and again, nothing went wrong. The installer continued and I saw a majority of reboots and successes during the evening of which it all took place.
SUCCESS and PROFIT - I had Windows 8 Professional.
"AH!", now you might say, "Why do you say you had no internet if you could download the entire operating system?"
To which I must reply "Yes. I had internet... and this is the funny bit:
I updated a few Windows Updates while I loved Windows 8 more and more - when it asked me to reboot. "Sure thing, my new friend", I thought and rebooted the Sony VAIO.
Now it would appear that my Anti Virus program "ESET SmartSecurity (v. 5.2.9.12)" would not update. I thusly checked my browser: "NO INTERNET". I checked my wireless connection: "CONNECTED". The problem had to be somewhere between these two lines. I checked my drivers - well they had just worked 10 minutes ago and were all working in Windows 7. I checked the internet connection with a LAN-cable to my router: "CONNECTED, but NO INTERNET". I checked both connections via "cmd.exe" and wrote "ping google.com".
It happened to work. I pinged again, however this time to "ping msn.com". This timed out. All pings timed out.
I happened to have just perfectly fine working wireless internet on my other HP set up just left to the connectec-but-no-internet-VAIO, so I spent some times around a lot of forums. I tried to reset the IPv4 and IPv6 connections, I tried new drivers, I tried to disable the AntiVirus Protection. I tried to "forget this wireless network".
All solutions was unsuccessful.
Please help me, what would appear to be wrong? The
