Default Can't connect to internet after installing

I just installed RC1. No problems installing. After the install I can't
connect to the linternet using IE7. I get the "this page cannot be displayed"
error, although I can get the updates from Microsoft, so that means My
internet connection is working. Has anyone seen a fix for this? I have no
yellow question marks in Vista device manager so My NIC card is OK. I can get
on the internet using XP but not in vista....I am duel-booting....can someone
help me.

This was provided by Jane C to someone with a similar problem. Don't know
if applicable in your case as you don't provide any information as to you
setup.

Now, as to your problem with accessing websites, I had the same problem
after installing XP x64. What I did was manually add my ISPs DNS server as
alternative DNS server. My primary DNS server is my router address. That
cured the problem of only being able to get to certain websites. We have
fixed internal IPs here too, instead of obtaining them automatically from
the routers DHCP.

If that doesn't work then try this:

- Click start
- Type: cmd
- Right-click cmd.exe when it appears under Applications
- Click Run As Administrator
- Type the following: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
- Press enter
- Restart your computer
