Hi. Weird, have you tried updates through the menus GUI; maybe:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
or: https://wiki.debian.org/HowToSetupADebianRepository ?

Could you have blocked the machine on the router somehow? Have you made any configuration changes to the router to block any domains, type of traffic or anything like that? Failing that, have you simply restarted the router?
The other things that springs to mind is a setting people on some ISPs had to change in order to get things to work properly -- it was some kind of packet size or timeout value but, unfoortunately, I can't recall what it was or which ISPs.

I removed and reinstalled xubuntu with the same results, so I removed it again and installed ubuntu 12.10 still unable to get online so I just reinstalled windows 7, not a problem it immediately connected to the internet and downloaded and installed the updates for it. I am unable to figure this out so I guess I'll just stay with windows for now. Thanks for help anyway.

Booo (or bahaha,) I would try some other distros even live to see if they work you could just need free-non-free drivers(?) Linuces+ are free to try: http://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=Live+Medium or multi-boot (microcoughed in one partition if you want then download drivers or helpful books++ there and use them from the better OSs partition) you haven't even hacked at it for ten 42ish days (here any how) yet...

Edit: wow just realized it's November lol time is flying

Oh I'm not giving up I plan to try a dual boot to see what happens and then go from there. the weird thing is I had already installed it on another desktop with no problem. So we will see how it goes, I refuse to give up because I do really like the OS.

Good to hear (: maybe try a more flexible OS like PCLinux, PC-BSD or Debian, on&on (I'd run them live first to make sure the Aspire and other hardware work well Debian for e.g. needs non-free\open-firmware drivers that are not on the CD\DVD\USB-ISOs; good luck and have fun.
