Can only connect to google & a very few other sites
Similar to this problem:
Connected to network, only google website works
New build. Core i5-2500K, Asus P8P67 LE mobo, 2x4GB G.Skill DDR3 PC 1333 ram. Win.7.Pro.x64.sp1 w/ IE9, al updates. Firefox 3.6, 4, 5, Chrome ... several versions.
Machine works flawlessly connected to CenturyLink 3Mbit DSL using D-Link DGL4300 router, WIRED (not wireless)
Move computer to friend's house. Verizon 1.5Mbit DSL, D-Link DGL4100 router, and internet connection is stuck on google. Can search for anything, e.g., wikipedia.com, and the search shows up just fine; however, the links just time out. Cannot type in the url for wikipedia, either -- just times out. Tried IE8, IE9, 3 versionf each of Firefox & Chrome to no effect.
Two other computers, both notebooks, work perfectly both places (HP Pavilion & Lenovo W510, both with Win.7.Pro.x64.sp1) wired to same DGL4100.
I'm at wit's end. Verizon says (and probably correctly) nothing is wrong with their internet service because it tests properly and works with 2 of the 3 computers.
I've uninstalled, reinstalled and reset browsers to their default settings, enabled and disabled av software, firewalls & utilities, set & unset DNS to various publicly supported DNS IP addresses, flushed DNS cache, disabled and re-enabled the network adapter, tried 4 versions of the LAN adapter drivers.
I can ping google.com and yahoo.com; but I cannot ping apple.com, msn.com, microsoft.com or wikipedia.org. Doesn't matter if I use their named addresses or their IP addresses -- same result.
Verizon says its the fault of Asus or DLink. Asus blames Verizon, DLink won't lay blame but says it isn't them because two computers work on both routers. Unfortunately, the DGL4300 is 280 miles separated from the DGL4100 or I'd try switching between the two (both have the most recent firmware).
I'm praying for suggestions -- grasping as straws. Anything, please! (& thank you very much!!!)
Addendum: All connections with Verizon are hard-wired, not wireless. Same with CenturyLink, except the two notebooks worked both hard-wired and wireless with the DGL-4300.
