OK, I plugged an Ethernet cable from my "bad" laptop to a router, and I still cannot access the internet with IE 8.0. I know that the router is working fine because I have a second laptop that is connected to the same router with an Ethernet cable, and I can access the internet from the second laptop.
I ran the MiniToolBox.exe executable on the "bad" laptop while the Ethernet cable was connected to the router. Here is the Result.txt file.
Thank you again for your help!
