Can't connect to internet - error message says can't detect network's proxy settings

I am having problems with my son's Dell Inspiron N5110. I can't get the computer to connect to the internet. I have done almost everything I can find on message boards related to this subject. When I try to connect to the internet, explorer (or firefox) cannot display the webpage. The troubleshooting message indicates "Windows could not automatically detect this network's proxy settings."
I have other computers that can connect to the internet with no problem. I have tried to connect with a wired connection, but that doesn't work either.
The info on the computer is as follows:
Tech Support Guy System Info Utility version 1.0.0.2
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7
Processor Count: 4
RAM: 4003 Mb
Graphics Card: Intel(R) HD Graphics Family, 1809 Mb
Hard Drives: C: Total - 462936 MB, Free - 424812 MB; D: Total - 14000 MB, Free - 7467 MB;
Motherboard: Dell Inc., 034W60
Antivirus: None
The antivirus says none because I uninstalled the McAfee that was on the machine. I ran a full scan before doing to and nothing came up.

I have tried many things. I made sure the box for using a proxy server was unchecked under the LAN settings. "Automatically detect settings" is checked otherwise.

I reinstalled an updated driver to no avail. I did the netsh winsock reset, ipv4 reset, etc.

The IPconfig/all shows the following:

because I uninstalled the McAfee that was on the machine.
did you use the removal tool ?

would you do the following ping tests

------------------------------------------------------------------------

For your information only
these tests will check various stages of the connection, the first ping test, ping default gateway checks to see if you still have a connection to the router.
The next two Ping google.com & Ping 209.183.226.152 tests the connection to internet. google is to test by name and the ping test using a number is checking that a connection exists without DNS.
these tests then confirm if there is a dns issue on the connection.

etaf,

I think I used the removal tool on the McAfee, but it has been a while.

Here are the Ping test results

run the removal tool again

What other firewall / security suite or anti-virus do you currently have on the PC - or you have ever had on the PC in the past - any trial ware - like Norton, AVG , Webroot etc

- try safemode with networking
as the PC starts keep tapping F8 - a menu appears - choose
safemode with networking - see if that works
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well,

I did the removal tool, which appears to have worked correctly. I don't recall any other virus protection, and I see none on the list of programs. I started in safe mode with networking. It still came up with Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. I ran a diagnostic, but is said it can't be run in safe mode

I just downloaded the network driver yesterday using the service tag number. It didn't change anything. The tag is 1G1ZRP1.

I am running windows 7. I already removed the proxy settings. I had previously done the resets, but I did them again. The ipv6 result said "There's no user specified settings to be reset."


I still have the same problem after rebooting.

lets now try google open dns
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Google public DNS
Note using google public DNS servers from outside the US may actually slow performace - so use the following as a test to identify DNS issues - if these resolve the issues , then we need to investigate further to optimise the use of DNS

Google public DNS
http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/

Theres also a link on how to setup those DNS IP address up on a PC
http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html

How to set XP here
http://techie-buzz.com/how-to/google-public-dns-on-win7-and-winxp.html

Then once you have set up those DNS entries

Flush & register DNS

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD then press Enter to open a command prompt box (A new dialogue box - black with white font, will appear on screen ):
In the command prompt window that opens, type the following commands:

Ipconfig/flushdns
ipconfig/registerdns


If you receive the message
The requested operation requires elevation.
Then please open the command prompt as administrator
Start> All Programs> Accessories and then right click on Command Prompt, select "Run as Administrator" to open a command prompt.

now type the command again

it still looks like a DNS issue

can you connect by cable - only this time retry
- try safemode with networking
as the PC starts keep tapping F8 - a menu appears - choose
safemode with networking - see if that works
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
#13 ·
I don't have a cable with me today. Won't have one for a couple of days. I did try that before, however, and it didn't work. I did not do so in safe mode with networking though.

Thanks for the help today, and happy holidays to you. I'll try this with a cable on Wednesday and see what happens.

ok - should be a simple DNS issue as you can ping IP address

what happens if you put IP into a browser ?
209.183.226.152

can we see an ipconfig /all and ping tests from a working PC

Well, I disabled IPV6 with the program. I still can't connect to the internet. Two things did change. WHen I look at the network and sharing center, the red x between the cable modem and the internet is no longer there. Also, on the bars at the bottom task bar showing internet connectivity, there is no longer a caution marker. However, I get the same result. No internet connection and the same error message when I run the diagnostic.

Here are the new ipconfig and pings:

Any theories? And also, when I re-enable IPV6, am I just going to use the enable IPV6 program from the same Microsoft website?
