Can Ping any website, but IE, Firefox, MSN, etc won't connect

[vs49688]

Hi,

I recently bought a Netgear RangeMax WPN824 v2 wireless router. I set everything up and it was working fine, but when I booted up my computer the next day, it my computer wouldn't connect. My other computer and wireless devices can connect, but not my main one. I can ping websites fine, but MSN, IE 7, Firefox, anything that needs connection won't work properly.I cant even log into the router on my machine. I have to use my other. Ive repaired DNS, winsock, reinstalled the TCP/IP protocol, done a system restore, used the DHCP IP addresses and the non-DHCP IP addresses and still nothing has worked. I have also disabled Outpost Firewall and Avast! Antivirus and it still wont bloody connect. Here are my ipconfig logs:

You mean to say that you are not able to access internet although you are connected.

If you are able to successfully ping the websites and not able to browse them then check the browser settings? Make sure that the browser settings are according to the settings recommended by your ISP Service.

Try using the command "tracert" in the command prompt and check route to any website, eg.

tracert www.yahoo.com
make sure there is a space between tracert and the website address.

Your Computer will then show you the path taken by the request all the way to the website and if there will be any problem at any perticular point ,it will show you a "request time out" messege.

Also let me know that are you able to ping the complete website address in the command prompt?

it won't ping sites like MSN and Google because they have Ping tuned off to prevent denial of service attacks.

[jermaghs07]

there is no place like 127.0.0.1.

try pinging the loopback command(the above address) that will make sure your hardware is good.

did u check with the router settings.. coz even i had some issues with MSN messenger and some sites.. i change the setting. and it worked.. check it with the ISP server

The MSN and Google might have the ICMP
blocked on there Servers.

Try other websites, are you able to access other websites from that computer?

Maybe your laptop was attacked by hacker. But you'd better look for answers at google.
