Both Firefox and IE unable to connect to internet. What's up?

Question

IP address good. Can ping www.google.com. But both Firefox and IE are unable to connect to http sites. I've got IM programs working, they use internet, but it seems only the browsers have problems. Help?

"You tell us what's up. What's changed since you were last surfing? Can you get email on your email client?"
What's changed is that both Firefox and IE cannot connect to the internet, but the internet it's self is fine.
I can get email, but I can't access it. This computer is working fine. It seems to be only my computer that's bugged.

Answer 1

maybe you have a firewall blocking some of your TCP traffic.

also try going to start -> run -> (type) command -> (Type)ipconfig/dnsdump (if it is a DNS issue)

Answer 2

cyber web Explorer has been doing that to me lots .. it hangs, do no longer open up links .. is going nowhere, yada yada yada .. I even have Firefox yet I truly have utmost exhilaration in Netscape Navigator. no longer partial to the Navigator on the beginning up, being an IE diehard, yet while IE grow to be giving me the problems, I downloaded the Navigator and that i've got been given no issues in any respect. i'm a satisfied camper with the Navigator. attempt it. after all, in case you do no longer like it, you are able to consistently uninstall it.

Answer 3

Maybe the DNS server is down. Try entering the IP address instead of the Name.or,you have selected "work offline" in a pull down menu.

Answer 4

Strange. It might be the browsers themselves, or it could be a setting that you have. Check all your computer/internet settings to make sure things are alright with the browsers.

Answer 5

You tell us what's up. What's changed since you were last surfing? Can you get email on your email client??
