Can't connect to the Internet using IE8 & Google Chrome

[Lobart78]

Hi,

Iam running W-XP, Home SP3 and go on Internet using Wi-Fi, that never failed me. I can connect to net with Opera, but not with other kind of eplorers. IE shows me nothing, Chrome either but some net::ERR_FAILED error. What c'n I do?

P.S.: I've cleaned all cookies, temporary files etc... and scanned for all kind of viruses.

Here's an excellent update to your Hosts file that might want to try (it may also resolve the issue)
>> Hosts
Direct download HERE
Download; Unzip; and run MVPS.bat
Also note, quoted from the Hosts link:

# Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
# Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties
# Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
# Select: Manual, or Disabled (recommended) click Apply/Ok

Then Restart
