Internet Dropping, but only for web browsers

[xderkax]

Seems to be happening more frequently now, used to only happen every so often and was manageable.

Seems that every few minutes, web pages stop loading. I use Google Chrome, and I get the connecting... in the bottom left hand corner, and that can last for 30 seconds up to me having to close the browser, since it simply won't load. A page refresh does not fix this problem.

I have tried other browsers, (Firefox, IE, Opera, even Safari), all have the same problem


However all other internet apps, such as AIM, Outlook, continue to work normally.

Running Windows 7 Build 7264, never experienced this on any prior builds.

Thanks for any and all help!

Hi xderkax, click start and in the start search box, type cmd and press ctrl+shift+enter.
In the black command prompt window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press enter.
Did it make any difference?

 

[xderkax]

nope, still having the same problems.

I do plan on installing the RTM tonight, which may fix this, I just want to know if its a hardware problem before I continue.

 

[Dinesh]

yes go ahead with RTM and you might not face the problem again.

 

[xderkax]

ok, will do. I will report back later on and let you know if I have the same problems.
