Solved certain sites not loading in http:// (facebook/youtube)

[gtabroker]

Not sure its related but since i cleared my cache i'm having issues connecting to certain sites in both IE and CHROME, both with the latest release which worked fine beforehand.

When trying to access youtube without https:// it won't load... even with http it loads but not perfectly.

Likewise, when i try facebook without https before it, it won't load. even with https, it loads, not still has a few errors.

just noticed google maps has issues when trying to zoom in or out in a map view.

furthermore, my itunes will no longer download podcasts since this happened.


I tried renewing IP, checking host files, re-clearing cache in both browsers, resetting browser to default settings, uninstalling and re-installing chrome and computer reboots but nothing has helped.

the other computers on my network have no issues at all.

one last clue, when connecting over wifi instead of cable, i can access facebook and youtube almost entirely normally but google maps still has issues zooming in or out in map view or changing between regular map or satellite views.

How are you connected to the Internet ?
If by modem, then try this
Unplug the electricity of the modem (in the back of the modem)
Wait about 2 minutes
Then plug it back in
Wait for all the light to come back on the modem
Reboot the computer and try again

If you have a wired or wireless router attached to the modem do this:
Unplug the electricity on the back of the modem
Then unplug the electricity on the router
Wait 2 minutes
Now replug in the modem, wait for all but one light to come on (that one will come on when you plug in the router electricity )
Now replug in the router
Wait for all its lights to come back
Reboot the computer
And see if all is fine now

The problem affects only one of my computers on the network and not the others so i don't think it's possible it's a modem/router issue.

Thanks for your reply, the search continues...

have you tried a different Ethernet cable?
the cable could be bad and you could be getting intermittent loading problems

also are you sure you do not have spyware or a Trojan that could be preventing the pages from loading?
I would download Malwarebytes and run a full scan, not a quick scan, and see what you come up with

swapped ethernet cables and same issue. I think its a problem on my PC to be honest with you.

I ran:
Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware removes malware including viruses, spyware, worms and trojans, plus it protects your computer
SUPERAntiSpyware | Remove Malware | Remove Spyware - AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiAdware!
Microsoft Safety Scanner - Antivirus | Remove Spyware, Malware, Viruses Free

as well as spybotSD.

All of the scans came back without incident.

thanks again for your effort.

This is a laptop correct? Because you said it works fine wirelessly
So why not just use the wireless instead of connecting it with an Ethernet cable

There seems to something very different with your Wireless network and your Wired network,
Are both password secured = were you prompted with entering the passwords to enter the networks ?
Is this a Work machine where it might have limitations on what type of Public networks it will let you enter ?

thank you all for the help!
