Cannot access most websites

[MMTPM]

Hello,

I started having this problem where I'm unable to access most websites. Google and related sites (youtube, Google-Scholar etc.) tend to work and Facebook is about 50/50. Nearly every other website either times out or just attempts to load indefinitely.

So far, I've tried:
ipconfig/flushdns
clearing my history/cookies etc.
clearing my temp folder
disabling all ad blocking software
pinging websites that I can't access (usually 3/4 fail)

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

We need to prove TCP first and then to cleanup the browser(s).

Get a command prompt and enter:

1. ping 31.13.70.36
2. ping facebook.com

If (1) works without a timeout, then your connection via your ISP is ok and you can route traffic
If (2) works without a timeout, then your DNS settings are ok and URLs can be mapped into TCP and routed also

However, if (2) fails, then you have a DNS settings issue to be resolved.

Thanks for the reply. (1) failed all 4 times and (2) failed 2/4 times.

OK, TCP is in trouble and thus the browsers will fail too.
I assume you have not attempted, or allowed anyone else to MANUALLY setup your Internet.

You should allow the system DHCP to make all the settings and these will come from your router/modem or ISP.

So how are you physically wired? should be somewhat like;

• isp===modem+router--- (wired or wifi)--- your PC

We can see your current TCP with;

• ipconfig /all >myTCP.txt

then type NOTEPAD myTCP.txt, copy everything in the file and PASTE that as your follow-up reply
