WIN10 fallout?
I was upgraded Gestapo-style about two weeks ago. I refused, win 7 pro64 was "reinstalled" and the machine ran fine for two weeks. I went on vacation for one week. Now, upon return, the machine refuses to communicate online....but, very weirdly, it will ping/reply any and every server, email server, google, but no actual email connection or browser. My WebRoot can't update, NOTHING will connect, yet every basic metric (status/properties/packets/pings) indicate that it IS connected. One program, SuperSpyware, DOES connect and update, but nothing else. We tried creating a new user profile, no joy there, either. This is a work PC on a work network and the work IT guy spent ALL of Monday on this and is at his wit's end, now talking about wiping the box. NOT like, with a cloth or something. I don't *know* if the WIN10 fiasco has anything to do with this. Any ideas?

Check with Hillary. She has experience with the whole "you mean like a cloth?" thang. Good luck.

Probably not. Firewall installed while you were gone? New router? Doubt it is a local issue

No routers or firewalls installed. The machine can see and share files all over the network but despite being able to ping/reply all over the world, it can't "connect.
Using its wifi card I've connected to a Verizon hotspot to bypass the whole local network and no change, no joy. The IT guy (and I) gave up. I installed a new SS 1t as a boot drive with WIN7p64 and a 2TB Constellation for data. The old drive will be in there and I will pull data from it to the new Constellation.

Did you have to lay on the ground to do it?

I think it is a drive belt issue.

Ya know...it could be...
I'm on that machine now, we pulled the hard drive to use as a resource drive and installed 1tb solid state for a boot drive with WIN7p64 and a 2TB 7200 Constellation for data. Before this it was pretty quick, running an MSI Z97 'gamer' mb, 100mb cache, 16G ram... It should be quite snappy after the SS install, but man, it's gonna be a pain getting all my crap back where I need it.
