So New Year's eve my computer works fine. New Years day and it's very wierd! (no, it wasn't drinking, at least to my knowledge)
I can go to about half the sites I want with no problem. The other half just sit there saying "website found waiting for reply" until it times out. For instance I can get to pprune, but not yahoo. I can get to ALPA but not climbto350, and so on and so on. The only other clue I have is that I can google anything, but if I click on a link it times out. If I click on "cached page" it will load just fine.
I've been playing with this the entire day. Both wireless and cat 5 hookup, no difference. Windows firewall is off. Turned Mcafee off and it made no difference. Tried the windows repair stuff. It finds no problems and still no luck. Re-loaded winsock. Deleted Skype as suggested on a few pages. Reset IE7 back to factory defaults. Checked the auto configure box and never dial a phone box. Basically I've tried everything this dumb pilot can figure to do.
Any experts out there?
