Any thing new with this issue? I read the entire thread, kudos to Randy for trying! That is the good example of what these forums are for!
As far as the issue is concerned, Randy is correct, that is a really "weird" problem, and I agree with his statement: Something seems to be interfering with HTTP and or TCP/IP, perhaps at low level, for example an anti-virus left over filter. Many anti-virus in their efforts to protect themselves against tampering / hacking, hide call redirection (dlls that redirect calls) I am not familiar with the one you mentioned here though , I agree with your last idea, it looks like your best bet at this point is reinstall, but it would be interesting to find out what the issue was!

I also am vary curious how things are. this thread caught my attention since it started with the ASUS zenbook being the device you have trouble with...
I have exactly the same !! ( as in Asus Zenbook UX31A and ESET antivirus )could this help in getting to the root cause ??

The problem is solved on my Laptop, after having had contact with MS support desk they adviced me to completely de-install the ESET security sweet. it indeed helped.!!

Thank you jamsch for the follow-up.Originally Posted by jamsch
Your suggestion as to what apparently worked for you was suggested here in this thread Win8 Shows connected to internet, but unable to load any webpage/app in item number 4 even going so far as to recommend that the OP use the vendor specific proprietary removal tool, to which the OP responded with a "no change".
I am certainly glad to hear that your issue was resolved using this technique but evidently it is not something that will work for everyone with identical issues.
Regards
Randy
Yesterday was, Today is, but ahh Tomorrow...mystery, suspense and a promise of hope.

Thread Starter honestly i just gave up. pissed me off so much that i've just ignored it since i got the refresh/reset advice.
I've tried to uninstall ESET another 4 times with no change at all.
Just today decided to finally try a refresh/reset but both tell me that windows can't find the required files and insert the disk.so damn helpful since i upgraded over the internet and HAVE NO DISK. and it's an ultrabook that has no CD drive. This is the #1 reason why i refused to get an ultrabook/netbook and now it's coming to bite me in the ass.
found one guy who says how to do it without the DVD but of course i actually need the DVD first to get the files. So guess i have to go "acquire" one since my digital instal came with nothing.
*edit* oh and my trackpad randomly stopped working as well.
