Browsers can't connect, other things can!
I have just started having a problem that I can see others have had in the past, where my browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer) have suddenly stopped being able to display webpages, but only on one of the computers on my local network. In Firefox I get a message "the connection was reset" for every page including connections to local devices (I can't bring up my router page, for example). Here are some of the things I think might be relevant:
- I have checked to make sure I am not using proxies in either Firefox or Internet Explorer, or in my System Settings
- This problem seemed to start occurring after I lost all power in my apartment
- The 64-bit version of Internet explorer DOES still work
- I can connect to a range of other things (Dropbox, Windows Update, etc)
- I can ping websites (google.com, for example)
- I am using Windows 7 x64 Premium
- The problem is only occurring on one computer on my local network
Please help!
