Control Panel - Admin Tools - Services. Make sure DNS Client (and DHCP Client) are 'Started'.

In Control Panel - Network Connections, right-click Local Area Connection and click Properties. In the 'Connection uses the following items' list, double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). On General tab, select 'Obtain an IP address automatically' and 'Obtain DNS Server address automatically'. Click OK all the way out.

already done that aswell

In Network Connections, try disabling your network adapter and reenabling it.

tried that and still the same

do a

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

ping routeripaddress 192.168.0.1 or 1.1 or 2.1

if it pings ok, you are talking to the router, so you have either set a manual ip, or dhcp is working.

if it is working, and https://www.google.com doesn't, try this:

http://216.239.37.104/
and this
ping 216.239.37.104

post model of router, ISP, adsl/cable?, country (I have my reasons!), and ipconfig /all output if it doesn't

also, post the details in the connections screen in IE. (Tools/internet options/connections)

have you changed any of the mac address or ip settings on the router?
