My computer is not identifying the connection

Please help.

My computer is connected to the router with an ethernet cable is not recognizing the internet. What I did to try to fix this (which normally works) is unplug the modem and router, wait at least 10 seconds and replug it in. When this did not work, I tried to connect the modem directly to the computer and the computer still did not recognize any connection.

What's strange about this is other computers in my house are able to use the internet. Even those just using the wifi.

I am using a windows 7 gateway computer. Please let me know any information you would like to know about my computer about my information. I would appreciate any help at all. Thank you.

So my computer connects to the internet in safe mode with networking. Above are the results I got from the tcp/ip reset in command prompt ran under admin. I will now restart my computer and see if the problem persists.
