hi, i've had exactly the same issue.
ipconfig shows that IP address was given by router, status is showing that computer is connected to the wi-fi network, but NO internet connection. And even on the same network computer is not able to see any other network devices - NAS, etc.
iPhone on the same wi-fi and other computers on the same wi-fi do have Internet connection.
Windows itself is not able to fix it (via troubleshutting process).
Turned firewall completely off - does not help.
So, as a last resort i restored computer to the latest safe point - which was August 15 prior Windows update - and Internet is BACK!

My mother in laws computer is also doing the same thing

Hello, I'm having the same issue. It's obviously not responding for some reasons. I think my CPU is still correctly configured and it recognizes the networks but it still can't get into internet. Whatever it is, it doesn't make any sense! I tried everything. I tried rebooting the modem, nothing worked. I tried disabling Windows Visual Mini WiFi Adapter, whatever it is, nothing. I tried to ipconfig everything. Nada. I'm running out of options. I'm unable to turn firewall for some reasons. How pathetic. What else now?

I don't think it's related (but maybe it could) but not too long ago, I had my computer set up a WiFi to a same network that is previously wired for internet.

Please help me.

Disgruntled young lady.

Update: I did what md2012 did and ta da, it worked. I still demand a good explanation as why the DNS server stopped working all of a sudden, though.
