Internet works in Linux but not in Windows

Hello all!

This is a weird problem I'm facing. I'm running Mint/XP/Ubuntu triple boot. Booted into Windows after like 2 weeks, and now I cannot access the internet from windows.:'( It Works just fine in Linux, so definitely no problem on my ISP's side. Maybe I need to reconfigure something in Windows network connections, but don't know what. (or perhaps is time to bash windows again ?:icon_frown: )

Any help will be appreciated, thanks for your time!:icon_cheesygrin:

EDIT: Oh, and definitely no viruses in there, for sure.
