What did you "flushed & reset" ? the computer? Try resetting the modem and router too. Just pull the plugs. Remember to plug back in the modem first and then wait till it boots up completely and then plug the router back in afterwards. When done, restart your PC.

That's probably an IP conflict (2 or more PCs with the same IP) . A simple reset of the router should fix that.

Click Start menu >>> on search bar type "NCPA.CPL" (without quotations). Please post a photo of the window that pops-up. Something that look like this:

Yeah, it should be really disabled but I just want to check if you had it enabled.

Well, it could be an ISP issue but the last thing I could advise to you is to try Google DNS. If it doesn't work, you have to contact your ISP. Here's how: https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using

We've had a DNS problem for a few years, and despite the reluctance of Operator, through my hard head, I finally found out it to be a cable problem = Operator problem. They don't willingly admit problems, they always try to blame the customer.

Get someone to check if there is a signal coming in.
