MB is an MSI 790FX - built this rig in 2010 (AMD Phenom X4 Processor)

Realtec doesn't seem to list drivers for this onboard nic.... close though. Mine states it's a rtl8167

Yup was just looking at that   :wink:
Lets revisit the bios
First run of the tweaking.com software made a registry backup. It's still there even though I uninstalled and reinstalled the software. Do you think it would be worth a shot to restore it? I haven't done that yet. Remember though.....  2 days after the first run the level 2 tech got Windows updates working and I had an enormous amount of updates. 50-60 or so, might have a negative impact.

For some reason my system restore was turned off so I can't use that to go back. It's on with a restore point set now though.

I updated the nic driver and the websites work now! Who'd a thunk?

Success!

So if we analyze this.....  what do you think caused the trouble?
What messed up the nic driver?

Good call on the nic driver. My motherboard also has realtek and I always use the newest drivers from realteks site since the motherboard site is always outdated lol

Makes sense that it was the driver them, after all it handles everything with the network and there could have been a bug or something in that old driver that didnt like how something was being done from those 2 sites. Hard to tell exactly what but at least you got it working :-)
