Connected to Internet - Browser does not work

Thanks, I will try that tonight. However, what I already tried is to turn the Windows firewall off and accessing the internet without any firewall at all. Result --> No change

I would go back and hard reset your router and put your settings in again as this sounds a bit strange as we are getting conflicting symptoms.

I'll try that tonight and report later on...

Ok so the problem persist: Router reset or cable does not change anything about the situation. A quick summary:

What I can do (I have the problem with the desktop):
1. Surf quickly on the Internet with my laptop through Wireless and access all router configuration sites.
2. Get a DHCP IP adress with standard gateway and DNS server with different wifi usb stick and via lan-cable
3. Access the website of our local NAS
4. Acess our local NAS through the windows network and copy and read files from there
5. Log in to Steam and download Updates with very good speed
6. Ping my router and trace websites where the adresses are resolved via tracert

What I cannot do:
1. Access the Website of my router
2. Access any Website on the Inet with any browser (Chrome/IE/FF)

A short clarification, when I say cannot access I mean it loads forever. And today I noticed that if you wait long enough (10 min+) text from a website starts appearing. I did not wait any longer, but there was no error, just not (yet) completely loaded.... Also after a couple of minutes my router asked me for a password to access the config website........

I really REALLY do not want to reinstall Windows but do you guys see another chance?

So really the title, that i apparently cannot edit, should be "Internet connection present and fast - Browser unbearably (like pre-dial-up-modem) slow"

Hi,
I am on cable. Just tried to connect it directly to the cable modem. I get a nice IP adress and evrything. Same error :-(

So at least it is not the routers fault...

P.S. Luckily I have a second computer for testing, otherwise I would scream bloody murder at my provider

Done, and it doesn't change anything...

However, I just reverted my windows back by a week and now everything is back to normal. I have no clue what is wrong, but it appears that it had something to do with a faulty windows update...

Thank you guys for the help... Although this probably will stay an unsolved issue...
