Weird Connection Issue

I

Windows 7 64bit desktop moved to new apartment, among other devices however this is the only device that shows interesting symptoms of network failure. Conputer connects to gateway, verifies and shows that there is a connection, but when any internet-requiring program tries to run it gets a not connected error. Network troubleshooter can't find anything wrong. Have tried disabling windows firewall, dnsflush, iprelease, netsh int, every network reset I can think of but to no avail. To be clear this only started happening at a new apartment, with a new xfinity gateway. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Check to make sure you don't have a static IP set in the tcp/ip settings. Also, go into internet options in control panel, click on connections tab, click on lan settings button, check to make sure proxy setting is unchecked.

I just launched ip config again and I see a second adapter in CMD that doesn't show up in wireless connections. Named "tunnel adapter isatap.hsd1.ca.comcast.net" shows static ip. Would this conflict with main adapter settings?
 
If you have a public IP straight into your pc then I'd probably get a router.

Can you ping those IPv6 DNS addresses? If not can you ping the Google ones at
  • 2001:4860:4860::8888
  • 2001:4860:4860::8844
If those still don't work try disabling IPv6 on your desktop.
 
Tried pinging those addresses but it said name

"Could not find host with that name" is error received when I tried to enter the addresses you listed. Also, I have chrome running behind command prompt and all of a sudden (with no intervention of my own) google loaded up and I was able to use the Internet as normal for about 30 seconds before resuming the same issue as before. Browser gives connection timeout error.

Still am without internet
 
It doesn't look like you are getting an IPV4 address. Check your wireless connection properties to make sure internet protocol version 4 is installed.

Sorry for late reply, work all day. Ipv4 seems to be installed. Any other ideas?
 
Can you ping 8.8.8.8? If so, what happens when you set your DNS reference to 8.8.8.8?

Also, why is your WAN a /16 which doesn't seem to be a default setup? If it's a 169.254 APIPA address then it means you didn't get anything back from DHCP on the IPv4 segment. Blurring it out doesn't really help anything.
