Check that your firewall settings isn't the problem. Maybe try disabling Firewall and reboot.

Hi ejones77, and welcome to TSG.

What do you have displayed in Network Connections? it may be helpful if you would post a screen shot of the Network Connections window.

Restored hard drive and it fixed it, many hours later.

Not to be predicting doom, but something caused it to begin with and the possibilities are many. The problem could recur.

Just to be on the safe side, either keep this thread open or copy a link to it on your computer for future reference. That way we can have a full history of events. If you connection continues to be function, no harm done.

Should you chose to do so, you can mark this thread solved by clicking the "Mark Solved" button on the top left of your original post. The originator is the only one who can do this.
