What:
Dropbox installed on Windows 7 x64
Problem:
After installing Dropbox, application window says:
"No Internet Connection"
Solution:
In my case problem was a folder redirection set up on Windows 2003 domain controller. Windows 7 workstation is a member of a domain and has AppData folder redirected to the file server.
To resolve the issue, copy the Dropbox install folder from
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\LocalLow\Dropboxto
C:\Program Files (x86)\DropBoxRight click on the Dropbox shortcut in the Start menu, select Properties and replace paths to reflect a new location.
Make sure your Dropbox folder is set to a local location.
Well, I spent about 4 hours trying to solve it, but after trying every solution available, found on this forum a solution for internet explorer, but somehow it worked with dropbox too. http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/331771-windows-7-only-connect-internet-safe-mode-some-softwares.html
ReplyDeleteBasically you open a command prompt as administrator
run this command
netsh winsock reset catalog
And then restart your computer!
Took me a while but I hope it works for you too!
