Strange Internet Connection Problem

I have encountered a problem with my wireless and Ethernet connections on my Windows 8.1 in my college dorm. My computer shows the symptoms of a dead internet, except I can still use Skype and play Team Fortress 2 online with other people like normal, but
whenever I try using IE, Chrome, or Firefox, it doesn't work.
Some other info: I believe a windows update may have caused it, as no other setting changes took place between when it worked and when it stopped working.
I can still connect to Google by typing in the IP address and perform searchs on the site, so I believe it may be a DNS problem. But I have tried many other things on the internet I thought to be in a similar situation over the past few days, but none of
them have helped.
I'm hoping posting here will give me some answers as I am really running out of options for ways idea on how to fix this.

I am having the same issue. I can go to the Microsoft store but when I try going on the Internet it says I have no Internet connection. Can someone please help.

Really Strange Internet COnnectivity Problem

I have a wireless-G 2.4Ghz Broadband Router (Model No. WRT54G) with three computers (all wireless) and two printers (both wired) hooked up to it, but right now only one computer is able to recieve any internet connectivity whatsoever.
I've tried repairing the connection, turning off both the modem and the router and leaving them off for 15 minutes, and still I have had no luck.
Any suggestions?

one way to check if you have internet connection is to go to the command prompt and type in >ping yahoo.com if you get 4 replies, then you have the connection. open your internet explorer and click on tools. on the general tab, click delete files and delete also cookies. try to use default security and make sure on the connections tab, the "never dial a connection" radio button is selected. click on the LAN connections sub-tab and uncheck all the boxes in there. try to open a website now using your internet explorer.

A strange Internet connectivity error whern using IE 9

Hello,
I experience very strange Internet connectivity issue which happens specifically with Capital One Banking site. I wonder if somebody else already reported the same problem.
I'm on Windows 7 machine with Verizon DSL connection and uses both Internet Explorer 9 and Firefox 4.0.
The same thing happenes every time I try to use IE to make a payment. A first payment screen opens normally, but after she enters payment information and hit Continue it starts to spin and after a couple of minutes of fruitful attempts it BREAKS Internet connection!
Windows allows to fix Internet connections settings, normally blaming bad default gateway settings. Then it is enough to open your site in IE and try to pay to break it again.
Firefox, on the other end, works normally and allows to pay. So, it looks like an error in IE, but really strange one.
I also have another Win 7 machine and IE 9; the only difference is that it is on Comcast Cable rather than on Verizon DSL. There I can pay to Capital One using IE 9 without any problems. So, it must be a combination of IE bug and Verizon Internet settings, I guess.

Are the machines by any chance using different Security Software or have you by any chance installed Verizon software onto the PC hooked into the DSL service?

Omni 10 mostly internet connection problem, also difficulties responding generally

Dear all,
For two weeks now i am proud owner of an omni 10 tablet. However, i already encountered some problems like the loss of the audio System, which was luckily restored with the help of the hp support via telephone.
Unfortunately, my tablet is not properly connecting to the internet since yesterday. It also has problems opening PDF files with 'adobe read', deleting or newly creating appointments in the challenger app and foremost it sometimes does not open the settings section depite repeatedly tapping on its button..
Most important currently is the internet connection problem. Is connects but says at the same time that the connection is limited. Additionally, it does not offer any solutions to this. That happend with three differend routers so far..
I hope you can help me
Greetings

Some Gmail features have failed to load due to an Internet connectivity problem.

This error message comes up both using Firefox and Chrome when using G mail. Also if it works at all,
switching from compose to draft just takes very long or keeps working.
No problem with G mail using Internet Explorer or Safari.
I have used Firefox for many years & want to go back when I can solve this Vexing problem.

Thank you for your help.

Internet connectivity problems. Conflicting IP address?

For the last few months I have been experiencing significant internet connection problems on my mac mini. Although at times my connection is ok, the majority of the time I'm suffering from what would best be described as an "intermittent" internet connection. It seems that my internet connection is constantly cutting out for short periods of time before re-establishing itself.
I'm connected to the internet via a wireless network (netgear router). There are also two windows machines (one laptop and one desktop) and a PS3 connected on the same network (also occasionally there is a macbook connected to the network too).
I've been with the same ISP for over a year now and previously had always experienced a good connection, also all the other devices connected on this network seem to have fine connectivity so I doubt there is any problem with my service provider.
It could be a coincidence but the emergence of the problem seems to have conincided with my flatmates purchase of a laptop. When my flatmate first connected his laptop to the internet I received a message on my mac mini stating there was an IP address conflict, although I have not had that message again and I seem to suffer from bad connectivity at all times, not just when my flatmates laptop is turned on! Could these to issues be related?
I'd be very grateful for any advice on how to resolve this issue as it's getting to be a very significant problem, thanks in advance for any replies...

Also try using the open dns servers instead or your ISP's. System Preferences>Network. Advanced>DNS. Click on + and add the following: 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220. Hit Ok,then Apply.

OSX Mavericks having internet connection problems.

Just updated to OSX Mavericks on my early 2011 MacBook Pro, and it's having internet connection problems. I'm using wi-fi, and so far only Firefox and Mail will connect. All other programs (such as iTunes and App Store) won't establish a connection. This is a problem that only started after I installed Mavericks. What can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

App Store / iTunes Store relies on Safari settings if you can't access secure sites from Safari then they won't work... Reset Safari and make sure Block Cookies Setting is not set to Always. You can also try to create a new user and see if it works there to help isolate the issue.

Internet connection problems with OSX 10.10.3

Does anyone else have very bad Internet connection problems after downloading OSX 10.101.3? Does anyone have a solution? P.S. What do you think of PHOTOS, after Aperture?

1, No problems here with internet on 10.10.3
2, No solution
3, I think that Photos is a toy. Apple has basically neutered both Aperture and iPhotos with their efforts to make their desktop solution match the iOS solution.
I am currently looking for a non-Apple solution for my photographic needs since Photos in no way shape or form is able to fill my needs.

Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas

Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas, nothing is workable- such as- restaring the iphone, reseting the networks etc... Please help me out from this problem..

to be clear, my phone works fine when not in motion in a vehicle. If I pull over and come to a complete stop, remaining in the car, my phone works.
And while the phone is not working when I'm in motion, an internet search or a text message will go through, but I can not use Siri or any voice assistance when doing the text message or internet search. The microphone is greyed out.
So this is a unique issue, which appears to be the iPhone and not Verizon.

Persistent internet connection problems.

Every 8 months I get a spate of internet connection problems that last for a few months. (Meaning I get relief for two months at a time, and bad service for two months). When the previous bout of internet connection issues happened I was fortunate enough to get a good technician who showed me how to reset the connection at the fios box at the entrance to my home, by unplugging the backup battery, unplugging the connection box and then reconnecting the battery and plugging back in the connection box. The technician had remarked that there were problems with the main fios connection system to the townhouses, and somehow that got fixed.
This time I have not had as much luck. The technicians on duty have had me reset the cable router (which isn't the problem) and even replace the cable router (also not the problem). Fortunately I have remembered the previous technician's solution and am doing that every three days, without contacting technical support since they have proven useless at this time, only continuing to have me get new routers that do not even connect without the previous steps.
How do I get Verizion to bother to listen to me? At this time I am really wishing Cox was in my neighborhood, since I was able to go at least eight months straight without problems from them.
I am hoping that this causes someone to check on this problem. You had a good technician on technical support once, but not now.
By the way - this has been going on for over two years.

Since we haven't heard back from you or have received a form submission as requested in your private support case, it appears assistance is no longer required. If you need any future help with your Verizon service, please make a post here on the forums so we can assist.
