Connected to internet but cant browse

ah, didn't notice you were using your wireless connection. my mistake. have you tried a wired connection?

yes. i have tried a wired ethernet connection.

Are you able to access your router through your internet browser? Type 192.168.1.1 in your address bar. Default password is usually admin.

If both your wireless and wired connections aren't working, and you can't get internet on any other machine, then that could possibly be a router issue. Only workarounds I've known to work are either Static IPs or getting a new router, the latter being recommended if you do in fact have any sort of router issues. But just try the above first so we don't have to jump to conclusions :)

that didnt work for one.

and two, the rest of the computers in my house have internet, the ps3 has internet, the xbox 360 has internet..

so something is blocking the browers and programs on my computer that connect to the internet..

Ok. Good to know. Do you have any third-party firewalls/anti-viruses installed?

avg. thats it.

Which version of AVG? Do you have a full suite (firewall/anti-virus/etc.)? In which case, do you have Windows Firewall disabled? I don't mean turned off, I mean the actual service disabled.

i just have the avg free version. i dont do much downloading. so i never paid for anything higher up..

i have the windows firewall on

I just thought of another issue that just happens to affect both Chrome and IE. Sometimes they force you to use proxy servers by default on LAN. Follow these steps and check if this applies to you.

Open IE and on the menu: Tools -> Internet Options
Hit the Connections tab, then hit the LAN Settings button and UNCHECK
"Use a proxy server for your LAN" if it already isn't, then OK both windows.
Refresh the browser and both Chrome & IE should work.

nope. didnt work. ha
