im sure its that Tunnel adapter Reusable ISATAP Interface thing that causes it, i have no firewall or anything running btw that could interfere

Have you tried the wireless connection? I do not believe you state whether this is a Desktop or Laptop PC. Most laptops have wireless capabilities. Desktops would need a wireless adapter.

Swithcing to wireless, unplugin and plugin back the cable doesnt do antyhing, switching to wireless while unplugged either

This is a very strange problem. Sorry I am out of suggestions.

Some of these really strange problems have been fixed with a Clean Reinstall of the OS.

googling Tunnel adapter Reusable ISATAP Interface brings up people with the same problem, but i can't seem to find a solution in these threads

This may be a long shot in the dark, but are you running any 3rd party firewall on Windows 8 RP? The reason that I ask, is that some of these firewalls doesn't yet play well with Win 8 CP or RP. And some have been known to cause loss of internet connection, as well as other issues.

Just making sure that this isn't the issue.

no i have nod32 antivirus, but not the smart security that has the firewall in it.
so no i dont have any firewall running, not even the windows one

Just to rule things out, I would disable Nod32. This will allow WD to re-enable. Are you sure that Windows Firewall is off? This seems to be a fine firewall and is enabled by default.
