Run this in a batch file, if you're on windows:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
arp -d *
nbtstat -R
nbtstat -RR
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns

I restarted the computer, and it seems to working fine now. I will do this next time it acts us. BTW, do I do the above in DOS? Seriously, for I ain't got no clue when it comes to these things. I can figure it out via Google I suppose. I'm a HTML and CSS guy, with a little PHP thrown in for good measure. That's all I know about code.

Make sure you have windows option to show all file extensions 'on'. In windows explorer, go to: Tools: Folder options: View. Then un-check "hide extensions for known file types".

Create a new text file. paste the commands in. save. rename the file extension to .bat. Double-click to run. Let it finish.

Thanks, foggy. Very simple instruction of which I can easily follow.

@Goxed No dns. This is for my personal computer, and the problem didn't effect the other 4 in this household. We have Comcast.

Thanks again, both of you.

Who's your dns provider? Are you using your ISP servers for your DNS needs? Try OpenDNS servers or google dns servers and check if all is ok next time.

As of five minutes ago, the only site I'm able to connect to is BitcoinTalk. NO OTHERS. Not even Google. Or any of my bookmarks.

Solution?
