I JUST HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT IT DID NOT HAVE THE TCP/IP INSTALLED. It looked like it was installed but installed it again and it magicly worked.
1. Open network Connections
2. Click the connection you want to configure and then under Network TASK , click CHANGE SETTING OF THIS CONNECTION.
Do one of the following;
If the connection is a local area connection, on the GENERAL tab, under, This connection uses the following items, click INTERNET PROTOCALL(TCP/IP), and then click PROPERTIES.
AUTOMATE IP address and DHCP
I'm not smart these are windows help instructions that I copied
Good luck
