A friend is having a funny networking issue with Windows 7:
Symptoms:
- Gets an IP via DHCP.
- Able to ping google.com and get replies.
- Browser gets an error "Connection to the server was reset" trying to open any web page (including the web interface of the gateway router).
- Other internet applications also seem to fail.
- Cannot see other computers on the network.
- Other computers on the network do not have this problem.
Tested:
- Restart.
- Full scan using Avira and Malwarebytes found nothing.
- Disabled IPv6.
- Tried reducing the interface MTU to ~900.
- Tried disabling Windows firewall.
Conditions:
- I can only help via phone and email.
- The only connection available is wireless and supposedly there aren't even extra cat cables available to use to test a wired connection..
I'm stuck - what else can I try? I would appreciate any ideas..
