Oh. Well it didn't work right away for me either. I tried it last night and didn't work. But I went to bed and turned on PC this afternoon and it worked :D So maybe try restarting networking devices and stuff. Idk >_<

Maybe try in CMD as admin :

Type netsh winsock reset catalog then press Enter.
Type netsh int ip reset reset.log hit then press Enter.
Type ipconfig /release then press Enter.
Type ipconfig /renew then press Enter.

Then reboot PC.

Open the Start Menu, type in cmd and run it as admin. Type in the following commands:
1) ipconfig /release
2) ipconfig /release6
3) ipconfig /flushdns
4) ipconfig /renew
5) ipconfig /renew6

This will take care of any problems within Windows, but does nothing to solve hardware issues within your network infrastructure. It's worth a shot, but I don't think it will solve your problem.

^^should work but...

last time i had this issue was with my virgin media box. turned out the wired part of the box died and needed to be replaced. (wireless part still worked)

call your isp. they will reset your router and if theres an error they will order you a replacement.
as your with bt you may have to pay a fee for it though...
