My internet has been very strange ever since I reformatted my computer. Before the reformat the computer was hooked up to the internet like a normal computer. after the reformat the internet won't connect. I have a cable connection in my apartment and it says limited connectivity in the bottom corner of the screen. I did a ip config /all or whatever and it shows no DNS and just the windows assigned IP (255.255.255.55, something like that) . And this is the weird part about this. After my internet not working for around a month one day when I turned it on, it worked just fine. it worked fine for about 1 week then right in the middle of checking my email it just stopped working again, after another 3-4 weeks it just started working for a few days again. now it is not working again and I am just wondering how to fix this? I have done alot to try and fix it. I tried turning firewalls off, I know its not a virus because it worked fine before the reformat and I have reformatted more than once to see if thats teh problem along with antivirus software. I have bought a new network card and the same problem persisted. I have taken a friends computer and hooked it up to my room and the internet worked fine, so its not my ISP. I have taken my computer to another persons house to double check to see if its my computer and the internet didn't work. I have switched in and out hardware like ram and processors. The switched the cables and so far no luck.
