Welcome to the forum.
Some tails please.
You are running Windows 8, -right?
On a laptop. Wireless?
What other devices work?

EDIT: That error message should not happen unless something has changed in  your system. You may have installed a new program the disrupted the DNS.

1) What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly (ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc)?

2) Open a command prompt and type the following:
netsh winsock reset
Press ENTER
Then type "exit" and press ENTER to exit the command prompt
Reboot

Did that help?
