I can ping, tracert, print wireless, but I cannot access the internet with a browser.

I had this happen once on a client's PC.

First: Can you FTP?

Open a Command Prompt.
Type FTP
You should get an "FTP>" prompt.
Type "open ftp.mozilla.org"
type "ls"
type "cd" followed by whatever directory you need to get into their public releases
type "bin" or "binary"
type "get" followed by the filename (shown by "ls") of their latest release
when that's done, type "close"
then type "bye"
then type "exit"

After I type "ls" at the FTP prompt, I get "Not connected.", followed by a FTP> blinking cursor.

I get an error window after windows 7 is up and running, and in the Taskbar an icon of Adobe Bridge appears. The error window merely consists of the word "Error" in the upper left corner; in the text area of the window is a red circle with a white X in it and to the right of that "The operation could not be completed."

I have looked in Computer Management (as an Admin) and I have found no indication that Bridge is starting. The 2 Adobe services that are starting are Acrobat Update Service and Switchboard.

While in Comp Man I had a look at Event Viewer/App & Serv Logs/MS/Win/Dhcp-Client and saw many Warnings and Errors with the following in the description:

[FONT=&quot]Your computer was not assigned an address from the network (by the DHCP Server) for the Network Card with network address 0x2226823DC495. The following error occurred: 0x79. Your computer will continue to try and obtain an address on its own from the network address (DHCP) server.[/FONT]

I don't know what you did to your computer, but it sounds way screwed up. Try a repair install. http://www.pcworld.com/article/243190/how_to_repair_a_corrupt_windows_7_installation.html
