I have a HP Pavilion laptop that has 1.83 ghz processor with 3 gig ram. It is running Vista Home Premium. I have been connecting to the internet through a wiresless connection and it has worked fine, then it just stopped connecting. There are others in the house that connect fine and I have taken it to work where we have a wireless connection and it will not work. It see the network and sometimes it says it is connected but just local. I have tried doing a system restore and that didn't help. I scanned with malwarebytes and found some things and scanned with avg and it is all clean. Still doesn't work. I tried connecting through a wired connection and that doesn't work either. I tried to reset winsock by doing the netsh winsock reset catalog and then reset the IPv4 tcp/ip with netsh int ipv reset reset.log and reset IPv6 tcp/ip netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log then rebooted, but nothing works. I did all that by running as administrator.
Any help Please.
Here is an IPConfig that I did.

Device manager shows no error for your network controller? how about pinging 127.0.0.1? result is what?

I finally gave up and reloaded computer and it works great.
thanks

try the browser configuration. Make the connection detect the network setting automatically. Put the setting for the proxy and check it to use those setting for all the protocols.
If the setting are for the wireless network, it should be detected automatically..
