Hi all,
Disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing, so let's keep it simple!
Right: problem is that I can't access some websites, whilst others work fine. Specifically nationalrail.com and prototypegame.com are two unrelated sites that don't load. Status is either "waiting for ...", or "done", while the tab says "connecting". I can ping both of these sites successfully in the cmd box, I can also ping my default gateway. Sites I cannot ping (request timed out) or access include thetrainline.com and microsoft.com!
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, IE8 and Firefox 3.6. The problem is the same with both browsers.
Things I've tried (in roughly this order):
Running AVG and AdAware scans
Restarting my modem/router
Restarting my computer (multiple times!)
Disabling Windows Firewall
Uninstalling AVG and AdAware
Running CCleaner to get rid of all temporary files, cookies etc.
Cleaning up the registry with CCleaner
Flushing DNS
Renewing IP address
Disabling TCP Windows scaling
Swapping my ADSL filter
Pulling my hair out
Crying
Self harm
If anybody can shed any light on this, you may save my sanity...
Thanks
