I assume you used the built in trouble shooter? No Joy?

Have you tried unplugging and plugging the router, network cable etc?

and does any device connect to the web through the router?

Download Fiddler2, run it and then run your browser. Fiddler usually shows what tunnels to where.

You might refresh your DNS, check to see if your system is running through a proxy (network settings in IE Options)...I've seen infected PC's end up on a proxy unbeknownst to them that caused similar issues. Is it a site you normally visit?

Run a malware scan, MBAM is a good place to start (Malwarebytes).

Have you tried a different browser and achieved the same result?

You could always temporarily manually change your NIC's DNS to 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS) to see if it is at all related to that.

What browser are you using? DNS is usually one of the top things to look at when issues occur where you can't successfully browse the web...I stopped using my ISP's DNS years ago because of inconsistency on their end, I used Google for a while and now I primarily use OpenDNS for filtering and then Google DNS as a backup. You can go to OpenDNS and use their servers for free, or sign up for a free home account.

Might be worth trying, might not solve a thing. First things I would try are another browser, malware scan, and dns change.

Hope that helps!

Connect to the router or connect to the web those are two different things.

It is connected to the interned but can't display the page

 

[cdawall]

Are all devices doing that or just the one you are currently using?

And again reset the router and modem. Step one.

 

[paulwillingham]

Just my pc all other devices are fine as I am able do send this on my iphone

Here's a picture set of instructions to setting your DNS... though I would skip the last stop and just change DNS from auto to manual and change it there. (you'll see when you follow the directions)

https://www.opennicproject.org/configure-your-dns/how-to-change-dns-servers-in-windows-7/

Try 8.8.8.8 as primary and 8.8.4.4 as secondary. Report back.

Have you ran a malware scan? If no other devices are affected, and using the same DNS...that points out an issue to me.

I would also do this:

Click Start

in Search, type CMD

Open CMD or CLI (Command Line Interface, it's the DOS window)

type:

ipconfig /flushdns


This will flush your DNS cache. That might assist as well.

 

[paulwillingham]

Looks complicated

 

[cdawall]

It's not. It's literally typing two words in on command line. Still don't see why you haven't just reset the router.

No more complicated than signing up on a tech forum. You can do this.

https://www.google.com/webhp?source...=how to open command prompt windows 7&es_th=1

Type: ipconfig /flushdns

Press Enter... done. Not hard.

Changing DNS is easy as well. Super easy. +1 reboot the router. Though if all other devices work fine, it leads me to thinking that might not resolve the issue...we won't know until you do something we've suggested...
