Wireless :: Browsers Don't Connect To The Internet?
Jun 4, 2012
I have a weird problem with my home network that I'm unable to fix:I have 2 laptops (Lenovo and HP) both connect to the wireless network and show up as Local & Internet connected on the Windows 7 OS. Both can ping to an outside network with domain names but no pages open on the browser. There's no error displayed on the browser, the page just tries to keep loading. When I connect both these laptops over the wire, I'm able to browse through all pages easily. I also have 2 phones connected to the same wireless network and I can browse over internet without any problems.
The problem is with my tower that i hadn't used in a while. I tried to use it recently and nothing will connect to the internet except internet browsers. I have norton 360 on this computer and I am using windows 7.
I moved to a new place, with a new internet provider (a dorm, so it's all public). In my old place, my PC worked fine (Windows XP), but now it fails to connect to any of the Browsers. My laptop (Windows 7) is fine though with the same cable. No problems at all.
I work at a client site which lets contractors connect via a proxy Ethernet connection. A lot of URLs (e. g. webmail) are blocked though for security reasons. The rest of the time I switch over to a tethered 4G connection, having to change the proxy configuration in my browser(s). I use both IE and Firefox. I know that the laptop connects to both networks simultaneously, but the Ethernet connection is given priority when connected. Is there a way to have say my Firefox browser configured to use the tethered connection using no proxy, while simultaneously having my IE use the Ethernet connection with the proxy configuration?
It started a week or so so ago, whenever I tried to connect to a site the page would run very slowly (but once initially connected would run fine). Then today, I haven't gotten a response from any websites; there is just an infinite blank loading screen. I use Google Chrome, and tried switching to the already installed Internet Explorer but my my results were the same. I have been able to make calls on Skype without issue and even downloaded a game from the Microsoft store since the issue started. I am also using the wifi with my phone to post this, so I know it's not a connection issue. Everything using the Internet is working fine, just not the browsers. I am running Windows 8 with Kapersky Internet security (which has never given me an issue). I, also, scanned the computer and manually searched it for any signs of viruses or malware to the best of my ability and found nothing.
I live on residence at college. I started having internet problems (slow, choppy, cutting out) that eventually stopped a few days ago. Then recently (yesterday) The internet stopped working for everything but my browsers and Norton Internet Security. Steam, DC++, even Adobe updater can't connect. I have booted in safe mode (with networking) and had the same problem.
During the upgrade of my itunes/iphone to ios and iCloud, IE suddenly stopped working and hasn't worked since. I keep getting a message saying there is a problem with it and if Windows finds a solution, i will be notified.It's hard to troubleshoot because I can't get on the internet with that PC.It's running Windows 7.
After installing a new windows update, none of my browsers will connect to the internet. Not IE, not Chrome, nor newly installed firefox. Strangely enough, I can use MSN and Skype, but Steam won't connect.I've tried to system restore just to the point before I installed the update, but it failed. Windows blamed it on an anti-virus program. Turned it off, and system restore still won't work. Uninstalled the new updates, but nothing has changed.
Any of the internet browsers I have installed on my pc won't launch.
- programs like skype or Y!Messenger work fine - I did a system restore and nothing - I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox (that's my main browser, but IE and chrome don't launch either) - the process shows up for a few seconds in task manager and then just disappears - sometimes the browser opens but closes itself in less than a second - I ran a scan with Malwarebyte&Antimalware and nothing shows up
I have 2 internet connections, 1 wifi and another lan. Can I assign them to different browsers to perform different downloads at the same time to increase my download speed. Are there any softwares to manage 2 connections for such.
I'm having trouble getting any web browser to work/recognize my connection. I've confirmed that I am indeed connected to the internet (I know this because, for example, I have no problem at all downloading games via Steam). For some reason, though, when it comes to surfing the web using a browser it's as if I'm not connected (even Steam can't load the Store page, I can only download games via the Library).I moved an infection a week or two ago, and I suspect it altered something that is causing this issue. I did get some advice to open the browser and go to Tools>Internet Options>Connections>Lan Settings and make sure "Automatically detect settings" was checked, and "Use proxy server for your LAN" was not checked.I did this, and in fact "Use proxy server" WAS checked while Automatically detect settings" WAS NOT checked.
I can connect wirelessly at home, yahoo messenger and skype work, but google chrome nor firefox are working. this happened after windows 7 blue screened.I can connect to my mom's wireless network but then it says No internet access....

I have 2 PCs at home, 1 desktop, 1 laptop both running XP SP2, and both hardwired to a DSL router. Last night, all was well, both machines working ok. This morning both machine have the same problem; IE and FF are unable to connect to the internet. Same goes for my smartphone; it can connect to the WiFi network but is unable to browse internet. Funny thing is, I have a stand alone IPphone connected to the same router and it works fine. Both PCs can run Torrent client, I see traffic on "peerblock" but google or hotmail just won't show up either with FF or IE
IE and Firefox both refused to load my homepage (google) or any other page in my bookmarks. Uninstalled and reinstalled both, even going back a couple of versions and still nothing. I know I'm connected as my iPhone works fine. With this in mind, I tried opening up safari to see what that would do and to my supprise, it works fine, bit slow but still, at least it works. So now I defiantly know that the Internet is working.
I can log into MSN and Steam is still connected, etc, but neither IE nor Firefox work. The internet still works in safe mode with networking, and Windows can't find a problem at all. I've run Avast and Spybot in safe and normal mode and they can't find anything. Reset the browsers and my IP address. Friend downloaded Winsockfixer or something and that didn't work either. I really don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall Windows? My computer is an HP Pavilion with Windows 7.
my neighbor is having a problem with her computer, its an HP touch smart [not sure of model] every other computer in her household works [1x wired 1x wireless].
the computer in question has had repeated problems and various hardware issues and has been sent out for repair on more than one occasion all for non software related issues, i take care of software issues and diagnose hardware problems and i have done so without a hitch until now.
when the problem first started happening i would do a system restore to a point were it was working, but that does not seem to be working anymore
i have tried disabling firewalls [she uses AVG internet security edition which is on all of her computers], windows firewall, disabling and re-enabling network drivers, updating drivers, installing different and previous versions of browsers
Recently, I have had issues with several Internet browsers. All, return with cannot locate remote server issue. I've flushed the DNS through command, and have turned on/off the firewall, reset the network connections, reset the router, uninstalled mozilla, IE, chrome, and opera, and still haven't been able to get any resolutions. I have a bare minimum connection at the moment.
Every time I boot up my computer, everything will be working fine for about 5 -10 minutes, but after this, all my browsers will lose connection to the Internet. All of them: IE, firefox, chrome, even the steam browser, all of them just lose connection.The weird thing is, my net connection is perfectly fine: I can still play online games, still use online chat services, still open and use programs like utorrent. It's like something is just blocking all my browser connections.When I run a network troubleshooter, it says "your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (Microsoft Corporation: Software, Smartphones, Online, Games, Cloud Computing, IT Business Technology, Downloads) is not responding."I googled this and came across some apparent fixes like flushing and re-registering my dns and restarting my modem, niether of which has worked.In addition, this problem is showing up on two totally separate shared networks and has only affected my computer. Other netwworked devices, like friends/families computers and my iPhone (which I am using to type this) work fine.
I am attempting to setup a wireless access pointand want to deny access to a group of IP addresses. When I go to Wireless, MAC setup, Deny or Allow, and select "Edit MAC Address List" my browser crashes. I have tried this on two different Linux systems and three browsers, Firefox, Mozilla, and Seamonkey.Tech Support tells me to downgrade to Firmware version 4.30.2, the only compiled version available on the Linksys website, but with no way to go back to 4.30.5 if the problem isn't fixed or if worse problems come up I am reluctant to try this fix, The only other suggestion Tech Support offered was to replace my WRT54GL with a WRT54G.
They all just decide to not load pages fairly often. It happens on my netbook and PC, has been going on for like a year. Formatted each pc at least once since it started. It's really annoying. It's been awhile since I used firefox so I dont remember that error message but Chrome gives me the sad face with the x's in it's eyes and says oops I cannot load the page. On pages that auto refresh it happens ALOT. Once I click the refresh button once or twice it loads it fine. My HTC EVO doesnt have any trouble with the internet when I have it connected to my router. The operating system is Windows 7.
Recently, I've been getting problems where my internet browser is unable to connect to the server it's looking for or gets timed out. It happens intermittently (probably every five to seven web pages I try to visit), and refreshing after a few seconds always allows it to connect fine. It happens at some point on every web site I try to visit.This began occurring rather suddenly on both of my home computers. All other connections on these computers seem to be working fine. I use Chrome as the primary browser on both computers, but have tried using Firefox and it still seems to occur.What can I do to figure out what the problem is? I'm not even sure if it's a browser issue or a network issue, but we have never had this problem before
The past month or so Facebook has been incredibly spotty. I downloaded Chrome (originally using Firefox) which is slightly more reliable but never that great. I don't have a big scary firewall up, nothing has changed with my network at all!
Does a VPN like Hotspot Shield (which installs to your hard drive) also obscure your public IP for running processes that connect to the web, or does it just work for web browsers?
I have a problem with another computer in the household. To get to this forum, I tried to use my son's computer (he is at college and has not used it in a while) and it shows the wireless is connected, if I click on his weatherbug, it comes up with the current temps, time, etc, but if I try to open any browser (ie, ff, or chrome) it will not connect.
Loaned old laptop when hard-drive went out of my own. I knew it would need some maintenance ie defrags, cleanups, updates etc. and have been trying to do so... in the process I am having a very difficult time as all of my browsers (that I thought were updated) are slow, hanging, crashing and causing my entire pc to freeze or hang.
Browsers (IE / Firefox) can't find the server, but direct access sites (Google Earth, Poker Stars) work fine. Running Win7, up to date browsers, wireless cable modem?
I cant browse with my browsers (mozzila,chrome,int.exp.,opera).First thing i tried to do is fix my modem but its fine because i can connect via my laptop perfectly .My internet is not always blocked .I disabled firewall , deleted norton with norton removal(aldo i wasnt sure have i ever installed it ) , I unistalled my free antivirus called "Avira anti vir".Then i installed bit defender 2011
StartSSL offers free SSL certificates, so I'm guessing that means no Warning messages from browsers IE,Chrome,firefox atleast? Has anybody used this StartSSL certificate lvl1 is free..I'd tryed this myself but my hosting company is charging twice more for having ssl(just having it not even buying) than for hosting my website.
im at university and im trying to get connected with their wifi. When i start up the computer it says that I am connected but when i try to access the internet it won't load. I have tried doing a virus scan and i have tried using other browsers but i still can't figure out how to fix it. Also, it works when I plug an ethernet cable into the wall but as soon as i take it out it stops working.
