Hi,
My laptop can't access many internet websites while it can access facebook, youtube, and google and its search results.

I have comcast xfinity cable service that I share with 4 other people. I have dual band XB3 cable modem and a dlink dir-826L wireless router hooked up to it. We had some service interruptions this week and when service was resumed everyone else's computer accessing the internet fine but mine.

When I try to access other websites other than facebook, youtube, and google, internet browser just keep waiting for reponse and sometimes I see "downloading proxy on status bar of the browser. I ran virus scan thinking this was a malware interception issue but found no malwares. How can I solve this issue?

Thanks all.

Had this exact same problem last week and this guy tried to help me. I never found a definite solution but I think it was just Cox having problems because for a couple hours my internet would be fine and I could connect to anything, but hours later it would be messed up again, but if any one else has any info on this it would be great.

Here is my thread from last week: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2793618/strange-internet-connectivity-problems.html
