Internet Connection refused - Can't connect to internet

Hey,

I've had this problem for a few days now, and I have no idea what to do. I've tried looking up other problems, but none of them are exactly like mine, so I'm posting here to see if anyone can help.

I can't seem to browse pages through browsers; Chrome gives me: "Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" and internet explorer also does not work. When I troubleshoot through ie it gives me "remote device refused connection" (or something like that, that's not word for word).

I was confused because skype and steam are still able to connect; so maybe this was a DNS issue. I checked what to do in those casses, and I pinged a few sites which I have been able to get responses from (like google.com and yahoo.com, etc...) so I don't believe my DNS is having issues, but I don't know.

At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I ran ipconfig /release and I got something that said "No operation can be performed on Wireless Connection 2 while it has it's media disconnected" which I am unsure if relevant.

And here's the ipconfig i get when run in cmd:

Unzip and run the following file which will reset the TCP/ip, winsock, flush the DNS, renew the Ip etc. when it's done your machine will reboot automatically. If nothing changes then please reset your router.

Hey,

Fortunately enough, my issue resolved when I got home - It just worked. I actually did nothing. I came home from work and it worked. I did not reset my router or anything like that.

I know this does not help people who have this problem, but that's as much as I can say.
