Hello,
I've been having a lot of problems with connection issues with some programs trying to access the internet, using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Edition. I currently run a hardwired highspeed broadband connection, and doing speed tests I run at 4862 kbps download speed, and 476 kbps upload speed. I can use Internet Explorer with no problems, but using any other program that tries the access the internet, I simply get a "You need to connect to the internet", or "No internet connection available" message. I've been reading around these forums trying to find a fix, and I've had no luck with some of the things I've tried.
I currently run McAfee Security Center, and have disabled my firewall and allowed all programs "Full Internet Access", but that never fixed anything.
I've tried changing my local area internet connection settings, as I've read on here, to disable IPv6, and added preferred and alternate DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. This never fixed anything either.
Trying to update any software I have, or trying to play an online game, has become very frustrating since my computer is saying I have no internet connection, when in reality, my connection is fine. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
