Had this problem starting today for no apparent reason. Performed RnR loaded all patches and update. After Power Eraser restarts it no longer connects to internet. I wait for a long time but nothing changes. Ran VisualWare connection and all is well. Have no connection problems in IE 11 browser. I think that the NPE is down or under attack. Can anyone confirm same problem or have information on this? I don't want to tear my settings apart in hopes that it's something else ... I doubt it is something else. I did not install the Windows updates for this week. All seemed to be spyware, Win 10 preparatory, and telephony tracking. - Art
