Let's try disabling your firewall.

start the computer in normal mode.

then right click the Online Armor icon located the lower right corner of the screen.

select close and shutdown.

now attempt to open firefox.

I was able to use the internet in "Safe Mode with Networking" perfect

Go Start>Run (Start Search in Vista), type in:
msconfig
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

Click on Startup tab.
Click Disable all

Click Services tab.
Put checkmark in Hide all Microsoft services
Click Disable all.

Click OK.
Restart computer in Normal Mode.

NOTE. If you use different firewall, than Windows firewall, turn Windows firewall on, just for this test, since your regular firewall won't be running.
If you use Windows firewall, you're fine.

Can you connect?

Response to Ectech:

I did what you told me to do and it worked! I don't understand how I never had a problem before and it just randomly happened. However, I must say that my internet connection (on my wired/main computer) is EXTREMELY slow. My wireless seems to be running perfect though.


Broni:

Your method worked as well, as I'm thinking it had something to do with my firewall (that was not Windows but GUI Online Armor)

[Ectech]

the wired connection might need some time to populate its routing tables on the ISP side. that's normal.

[aleksm33]

Was that literally the problem? I sure hope that's all it was (*crosses fingers).

[Ectech]

your log looks fairly clean as far as malware goes.

however, i'd like to suggest that you reset Online Armor to it's default configuration.

that would require two things...

1) open Online Armor and select Firewall in the lower left plain > reset defaults

2) then, select Programs and remove any items listed.

Uninstall Online Armor firewall, and put Windows firewall up, for now, and see how it's going.

[aleksm33]

Okay sounds good, I'll reset it to its default configuration and see how that goes.

If resetting the firewall to it's defaults still won't allow you to browse, then uninstall Online Armor firewall, and use the Windows firewall for the time being.

Comodo is a good AV + Firewall suite: http://personalfirewall.comodo.com

EDIT: From your report, I can see that you have AVG running as your AV suite. If you want to use Comodo, then you will have to uninstall AVG.
