    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?
