Heylo all, ive seem to have a very annoying problem. Recently my house just had a power surge, now before said surge, my computer was running and getting on the internet just fine.I am connected through a lan with a cable modem. Now after the power surge it seems i cant get on the internet at all but my parents computer can. I cylced the modem and router just to see if that worked and nothing. It says limited or no conectivity. I dont understand why my computer is acting up and not my parents, as my parents computer is also plugged into a router (Belkin 2.4Ghz router). Its done this in the past and my dad just said reinstall windows. Thats a pain in the butt as anyone knows, having to reinstall all your files and such. If anyone can help me resolve this very annoying problem id greatly appreciate it.

moving to hw as this isn't browser related.

if you had a power surge it is very possible that
1) your os was damanged as a result of the event.
2) your nic has gone bad (my money would go here, If I were a betting person)


have you experienced any other problems? Is the network card built into the system board or is it a pci card?
