So I currently have a "professional" over trying to fix my computer, he's done everything from googling the problem (LMFAO) to formatting. He has no idea what's wrong.
What I did: I recently upgraded my hard drive to an SSD, installed windows 7, and installed an ethernet driver.
What's wrong with it: It won't load certain webpages, for example, ninemsn, skype. & it also won't download certain things, namely Steam. So basically it's being racist to certain things.
I need help ASAP!
I live in the Frankston area.

Formatting won't fix the problem. (correction: It MAY fix the problem)
Sounds like a DNS issue more than anything, however if the DNS issue is in the modem/router then factory reset/reconfigure will fix that.

If it doesn't work and daniel can't fix it, you have to! assuming you are the same jeffy i think you are. But you'd think the computer tech guy would of done that.. but he didn't. |

Can you describe the problem in more detail?
What happens?
How do you trigger it?
What browsers have you tried?
What errors do you get?
Can you check your address settings? Control panel > network and sharing centre > click on local area connection and click details. What are the domain settings?
Have you dumped browser cookies/cache? As a corrupt cache can stop a file that was a failed download trying again as it will use the cache.

The only error message i get is that the website is online but i can't connect to it. If I try to open Skype.com it won't load I've tried chrome, firefox and IE10. I wouldn't have any, it's been formatted 3 times now. I'll check my setting later on |

If you connected another computer/laptop/phone to the network, does it get the same problem?

Try changing your router/network card. Either that or could be Firewall settings or your router Firewall settings.

I don't think it's a firewall issue as the firewall would knock everything out...
check the following file (using Notepad run as Administrator)
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
See if there is anything in the hosts file for those websites. If there is, remove it and save the file.
Try ipconfig /flushdns & ipconfig /registerdns
then reattempt to connect.

Another try go into your network settings and go into the IPV4 properties of your network car.
Let the IP address accept a DHCP request but set the DNS to static and make it this.
Primary 8.8.8.8
Secondary 8.8.4.4
See if that fixes ur issue, That way you are using Google's DNS instead of ur ISP.
Also if you do a fresh reload and ONLY load the network driver does it still have this issue?

Reset your TCP/IP stack configuration: start -> command prompt -> run as an admin (right click to select this option) -> type "netsh ip int reset" (or maybe it's netsh int ip reset), then press enter. If the first doesn't work, try the second. It wont hurt anything to put the wrong one in. Reboot. Then, if that doesn't work, try changing the "MTU" of your network card to 1400. Follow this link, put '1400' in place of nnnn in the command: http://networking.nitecruzr.net/2007/11/se...dows-vista.htmlThen, if that doesn't work, go to device manager, delete the network card, reboot. The system will re-detect the card and re-install the driver again, resetting any potentially broken driver settings.

I think he has most likely got a modem (cable or adsl) and a router. Maybe take some photo's of the 2 devices and the model numbers and we can help you configure properly  |

Knew it was a router problem lol. You can factory reset your router by using a pin/pen and pushing it into the back of the router inside this small hole and hold it for 15 seconds. If you can't do that, your router manual should tell you how to factory reset. If not, google it.
Once you've done that, you can just setup your internet connection again. If that STILL doesn't work, it's probably a faulty router and you'll need to buy a new one.

This way you only have "1 router" and "1 switch" to stop this from reoccuring. Glad we got it all fixed for you.
