Right so, I received my pc from pc specialist on friday afternoon, I had school and then work so I did not get around to opening it until friday night.
When I did open it however I was extremely excited and everything went well, I was very careful, setup went great. I turn my pc on, everything works fine, phew. I start playing some minecraft online, facebook, general internet usage, everything works great, Im over the moon.
My PC tells me to run a pc update, of course I do as it says, it being a new pc and I let it do its magic. Since the update, the internet on my pc will not work.
this connection works on every other device in my house, vista, mac, win7, wired and wireless.
So far, the things that I've tried that have not succeeded.
Restarting, entering network details again, trying resetting all network adapters, resetting router, removing and manually re-adding the network (with correct details), unplugging router for 30 seconds, all the cmd commands relating to resetting all IPs, changing properties so everything is set to automatic, checking all network security encryptions, wired connection from laptop, rechecking all cables, flawless virus scan.
none of these have worked. at this stage Im starting to get really, really stressed and fed up, I stayed up all night trying to fix this, went to work, had a **** day because I was worried about my pc and ended up having to wait 2 hours for a bus home from work that would normally take 15 minutes to arrive.I've tried to remain positive, but its fair to say at the moment Im in PC/Network hell. Im sitting beside my pc on my laptop on the same connection, my laptops wireless works flawlessly, my pc cannot even connect when wired to my laptop.
when I troubleshoot or diagnose on my pc it says make sure all the network settings match the wireless router or access point settings, or if its in range, which it is. Also I am frequently getting the, "network security key mismatched" error when I enter my passphrase.
Im really starting to get desperate here, ive spent hours on google looking for solutions and nothing has worked.
if anyone could offer me some help or any advice it would be greatly appreciated right now.
