Okay, having a weird internet issue , my modem has all lights blue and my PC says i'm connected to the internet, but i cannot connect to most websites, i can connect to google and use the search function okay, but any website i click on returns a "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT" besides The Guardian articles and one other tech forum that i cannot remember the name of, any other browser does not work, even with the stated websites, and any applications do not connect to the internet, this issue happens regardless of Ethernet port or WIFI connection, router has been restarted, and reset to factory default, PC has also been restarted

have you tried booting into Safe Mode with Networking and see if you can browse to other sites?

check your PROXY settings and make sure they proxy is unchecked.

have you scanned you system in safe mode for malware?

have you tried to reset Chrome to default?

Hi Lee,
Did you ever get a resolution to this issue. I have the same on all macbooks, ipads and laptops on my home network. Wired is fine but can only access the Google and Guardian sites as you mention above. Can access these on IE and Chrome not just Chrome as in your case. Very strange.......
