I've been searching for a week now and still haven't found a solution to my problem.. I'm beyond frustrated
So here's my issue..
About a week ago, my internet went down in the area. I didn't realize it was the whole area at first, I though it was just something wrong with our household internet so I unplugged and plugged our router back in [which has always worked before when we had an issue in the house] but no luck.
My PS3 was telling me it was a DNS error so I went to my router configuration and reset all the settings. Keep in mind I really don't know too much about all this stuff so I just try things I know how to do and see if it works, haha
So the next morning, I found out the internet was down in our area. That afternoon it was working again but I still couldn't connect so my brother unplugged, and plugged the modem back in and voila! it worked again.
Only problem was that half of my browsers would not load pages. IE worked, and so did Firefox.. but Flock and Opera would not connect. It was telling me it couldn't connect to remote server. I tried to install the beta of google chrome, but it said it couldn't connect to the internet to install it. And I downloaded the Windows version of Safari.. not loading any pages
I've searched google endlessly and done everything that people have said would work, and still nothing. Last night I updated Firefox, which was working.. but after the update it won't load any pages!! So it seems that any newly updated, or downloaded browsers are not working.
Pleeeeeease someone help me!! I would be sooooo so so appreciative!
I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium, and have turned off my firewall. I'm at a point now where I'm considering just formatting my computer. I wish I could "downgrade" to Windows XP, but unfortunately I have a newer laptop, and they don't have drivers for XP
Thanks
