So I need a little help fixing my brothers computer...

[IzMike]

So my brother can talk to people on Skype and play LoL perfectly fine. but when he opens Google chrome it wont even load google.ca. I have switched the cat5 cable he was using, used Google public servers for a DNS and uninstalled chrome and re installed it. Same thing happens on IE and firefox. It also says "Resolving Host" in the bottom left corner of chrome when loading a website. You guys got any suggestions? And i am not sure if this is the right part of forum to post this but is the closest thing I can find. And its on Win7 if that matters.

Check your hosts file?

Try this:

 

1. Click the Chrome menu  on the browser toolbar.
2. Select Settings.
3. Click Show advanced settings.
4. In the "Network" section, click Change proxy settings. This will open the Internet Properties dialog.
5. Click LAN settings .
6. Deselect the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox.

Check your hosts file?

Whats that?

[darkstar]

Whats that?

The first reference point in DNS resolution stored in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Check the file to see if there are any additional entries.

So it's taking forever to resolve domain names, so your latency to the DNS server is far too high. You should be using your ISPs DNS servers really. I'm guessing all websites are affected?
