Note for troubleshooting network/internet connectivity on a windows workstation:

If you are unable to browse the internet

1. Check workstation IP, is it static or DHCP?

2. If using DHCP, release and renew workstation IP.

3. Reset winsock through netsh.

4. Check for a proxy, there are none.

5. Reboot

6. Set the static DNS entries to 192.168.1.1 (i.e. local router/gateway address), and 4.2.2.1 (verizon L3 router).

7. Reboot router and DSL/CABLE/FIOS modem.
