    Question Can't connect to certain websites

    Hi Guys,

    I'm stuck and could do with some pointers where to look, what to do, to fix my problem. Initially thought of malware, but have used a lot of the tricks suggested here, last one was bitdefender online scan.
    Since found out I can connect to the sites i can't connect through normally by using a proxy.
    Using a DSL-G604T router / wireless, i suspect the problem is in the DNS settings, as the page states a DNS error.
    Did change the MTU to 1200 on both laptop and router, but still won't do some sites. No problem connecting to those from other computers.
    What else can I try?
    Help would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Have you double checked your tcp/ip settings? Ensure you have your default DNS server correct. Is there a difference after you flush your dns? ( ipconfig /flushdns)

    What types of sites wont work? Maybe your security settings in your browser are blocking them?

    Thanks for the reply. Flushing the cache made no difference. Both IP address and DNS are obtained automatically. Querying the router only gives the routers address 10.1.1.1
    Should I manually configure the DNS Settings? It has always worked OK before without manually adjusting the settings. All bugs have been removed and the laptop works without fault on a different modem / provider.
    Any suggestions what to try welcome. I've run out of ideas.

    Cheers
