Can only visit certain websites

[Justin_]

Hi I am having a very weird issue, I can't visit most websites on my computer I am only able to visit google service sites and a handful of other sites fortunately including LTT. This happens if I use Chrome Firefox Internet explorer, I have tried using my home internet connection and also 2 separate phones mobile hotspot over 4G. It is a weird issue

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

Have you tried different DNS providers? Like OpenDNS Or google DNS?

what does it say when you to visit the sites it wont let you?

Could you explain a bit more?

[Deusrex]

What error are you're getting, or how to change DNS?

What do you mean? im the one asking you to explain exactually what it says when you "cant connect".

 

does it say cant connect? does it say a DNS error? does it say no internet connection, ect.

my bad, his reply did not load in for me.

 

Unfortunately im not sure how to solve that issue, maybe someone else can.

Well that's not an HTTP error, so it might be a Stack error. You're using windows 7 so it's relatively simple to re-build the stack.

 

Try this: Run command prompt as administrator -> Type: netsh reset 

 

This will reset the WINSOCK after a restart try going to the websites again.

it didn't work so I ran it in CMD and got this "The following command was not found: reset"

The command you need to run is:

Spoiler

netsh winsock reset

That should work for you!
