Hey guys, so I have this weird problem where I can't connect to any server at all unless a network change occurs. Whenever I try to look anything up on my browser (chrome), or type in the url of any site, it doesn't connect to the server, and says "site can't be reached." I can't launch any application that requires a connection to a server either. However, whenever i'm playing a game it'll connect to the game server. I tried to fix the problem by creating a network change such as enabling sharing. Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Connections: (Network Name) > Properties > Sharing > Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection. It fixes my problem 100%, but it's temporary. It lasts for 30 minutes then I'll have to disable it, and I'll be able to use my browser again. This problem has been irritating me for years. Please help me fix this problem.
 
Solution
not finding sites on the web sounds like a dns issue to me, try this go to device manager, network devices, network device properties
double clik on TCPIP v4 (text) then change the use auto dns to the assigned and enter 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, then reboot computer and does it fix the problem ?
