Gets corrupted, and maybe NetIO Legacy Support drivers, e.g. AFD -Ancillary Function Driver- for Winsock is a coreĭriver for networking and Internet communications that gets targetedīy malware programs, and when anti-virus programs remove malware, AFD To the DNS server and obtaining a dynamic IP Address from the DHCP I read so many postsĪnd websites regarding the issue, and it all boiled down to aĬorrupted DHCP Client Service Dependencies drivers, namely afd.sysĪnd http.sys, that prevented it from starting and connecting properly

Through my wireless connection on my laptop. Professional 64-bit and had the same “No Internet Access” problem That fixed the issue for me.Īny ideas what I should look for to get at the root cause of the problem? How would that prevent me from browsing the internet even with a valid IP stack? Address, DNS1, DNS2, GW, were all fine and then internet access only just stopped working.

I had also noticed that my time was not synced with the DC so I decided to disjoin and rejoin the domain. I do not use McAfee (found several references to an update that caused this issue), and I ran this command that I found may help:

I had already updated my nic drivers a few weeks ago and nothing had changed on my laptop recently - no updates, no new software or hardware, etc. I could ping my gateway and internal sites and servers (email was fine) but I could not get out to google or any other EXTERNAL site even though I was just browsing them a few minutes ago.

Then, out of the blue, I lost internet access ONLY. I had logged into it this morning and everything was working fine - internet access, email, etc. Perhaps someone can add their knowledge of the root cause of the problem. I discovered the resolution that worked for me and thought I would share it. I have seen other threads about how to resolve this problem but none have worked for me.
