Hello guys,
Hope someone will be able to help me out with this:
After I restarted my comptuter (was in a sleep mode) I could not surf the web anymore. Anytime I'd start browser (Firefox and then even IE - which i use rarely) I would get the standard message: Address Not Found...bla,bla,bla.
So I assumed that the internet provider (Comcast) is messing up again.
But my roommate's internet is just fine. Okay, so I reinstall the Wireless driver and reboot. No success.
So i try to plug my computer directly through cable (Lan) to the modem - that always works. Again, the same response: Address not found.
Weird: I check my DNS, IP, everything is fine. The drivers are fine, all devices working properly, I receive my IP without any problems anytime I restart and moreover my laptop is constantly receiving and sending packets; yet I can't browse. Even more weird is the fact that I can use Skype without any hassle.
To sum it up: internet is working fine. Skype works ...but both my browsers are on strike.
So I reinstall Firefox as a last attempt; I also restart the whole thing in a Safe Mode while being directly plugged to my modem through cable. Even in Safe Mode I can't browse.
At this point I am giving up and looking for help here. I've never had this problem before. Anyone can help?
Will be much appreciated,
Christina
