Another thing that you could try is creating a new user.

To see if it can connect just make it an admin.

Once you have completed everything then give me a fresh minitoolbox log please.

Another thought is does your friend and you have the same ISP?
How about method of connecting? Do you both use a modem or a router?
Rockmilk is on the right track by creating a new account and seeing if the default settings will allow you to connect. Still no joy reboot and go into Safe Mode with networking and let us know if it connects then.

For some reason, I cant log back into my other account on this computer through facebook. Ah well.
Anyway, it works! I needed to make a new account.
Thank you for all the help!

That actually shows that there is a service or a driver not working correctly.
Rockmilk should be able to now find the issue with you since we have narrowed the possible problem down.

Since you say that you bought this computer from a family member to do you want to try and fix the other account?Or just keep the new account and customize it to your liking?
