Hello guys,

Recently I have not been able to connect to the internet. I've had the computer for a little over a year and I've been able to use the internet ever since i got it untill about 2 weeks ago. It says my access is Local only and then i look at the network and sharing center, there is a red x between my network and the internet. In my apartment we have to plug the computer into the wall with a cable. Everyone else's computers in my apartment can connect, except for me. I even tried connecting into their ports and still, nothing. I've tried installing every update i could think of by downloading onto a jumpdrive from another computer then onto mine. What else can I try? has anyone else had this problem and fixed it? Can anyone point me in the right direction? not having the internet SUCKS.

thans for any help,
Ty
