Hi all,
In the last week my laptop has spat the dummy and most programs will not connect to the internet.
It's a ~3 year old HP that came with W7 that I upgraded to W8 about 6 weeks ago. Internet was working fine until last week.
Chrome and Firefox will not connect - all connections time out (haven't tried IE because it's nowhere to be found???)
Other things like AV, Steam, etc won't connect either.
Strangely though, ping Google works no problems.
It's not a router/network issue as all the other devices on the network are fine. The laptop still doesn't work when I tried connecting via the ethernet cable.
I've tried all the suggestions on How to fix connection timeout error on Google Chrome? | Laptapos.com (except for reinstall) with no luck.
I think I did a virus scan which came up negative.
Anyone have any suggestions of what else I could try? Is it a NIC issue? Or should I be thinking about reinstalling /refreshing/resetting W8?
Thanks in advance
