Hey guys...I'm running Vista (that is a prob in itself) through an ethernet Dlink wired modem/router on a 6Mb connection with Cox. Have been for the past four or five years. And then yesterday, completely out of the blue, my internet broke. Symptoms:
- Can only get onto a few other sites, and those seem totally random (and intermittent). Google searches work fine, but I can't go to any of the links except for the very few exceptions. Interestingly it is the same sites that work each time, but it's about 1 in 50.
- It's not my connection - my Outlook is working just fine, as is are my other 2 computers.
- I've not installed anything at all, or fiddled around with any settings or anything. I've ran virus scans and spyware scans and am getting nothing alarming.
It's been like this all day now, and today I tried a bunch of measures to make it work, none of which did anything:
- Uninstalled Mcafee
- Cleared all temporary internet files
- Checked settings on IE and Firefox
Anybody have anything like this before? I'm thinking it might be a firewall issue somewhere, but so far nothing looks to be changed.
ARGGG!
