Have you tried resetting the modem/router and rebooting the PC?
Have you tried removing the NIC from Device Manager and letting Windows Reinstall it?

ya ive reset the modem and computer a few times
ive narrowed it down its definitely not the modem
cuz im using it right now for my laptop
i was told it was the network card but its an onboard so i cant physically remove it
but ill try to uninstall the card and let windows redo it

ok so i reset the modem and the computer- nothing................big suprise
and i uninstalled the network card and let windows reinstall it- nothing

but i still cant see the ip address
i hate computers

Download LSP-Fix

After download is complete, Run LSP-Fix

LSP-Fix is a free utility to repair a specific type of problem associated with certain Internet software. This type of software is known as a Layered Service Provider or LSP, a piece of software that can be inserted into the Windows TCP/IP handler like a link in a chain. However, due to bugs in the LSP software or deletion of the software, this chain can get broken, rendering the user unable to access the Internet.

There was nothing in the Keep section?

[mastaof420]

yes there was a mswsock.dll i think
im goin from memory from a few days ago but im pretty sure thats the file name
i tried to click on it but it does nothing
i feel so helpless i usually can fix anything myself but this is got me stumped

You "should" be able to select the mswsock.dll and add it to the Remove section and repair it.
