That is a good first step when you are trying to decide whether you have a hardware or windows issue (crashing etc..) but judging by his symptoms, I think this is browser or OS related.

and if he can't get on the net ... kinda hard to download

ya ya. from a friends computer or some such

since few minutes ago, im plugged directly into the modem cable. Im download and using few tab in Chrome. Now everything look like on the good way. Im not yelling at the victory.

[_dangtx_]

so it was a router setting? :)

[Alpine]

its look like. But for now i didn't see what can cause this. I have done a reset few times of my router and leaving setting as is (but i add a password) and the problem was still there. IN Ie/Chrome/Firefox. Im gonna try to find a website where i can, maybe find, some firmware to make a update of my router.

When you put your router back into the path between your computer and the Internet, did the problem remain?

I had an issue like that a couple weeks ago but it ONLY affected Steam. For some reason, powering down everything and then connecting directly to my modem worked. I put my network back to the way it was before the problem occurred, and I still haven't been able to reproduce the issue.
See: Has Steam downloading (updates) been slow for you today?

The only thing I can think of other than router getting into a bad state is a bad network cable or connection somewhere.

i didn't try to put back my router between the pc and Internet for now. Im gonna leave it unplug from everything (also power) 24 hrs. I have a old Router, maybe he's starting to think to be retired.


Also the problem was really only between internet and pcs. When i was doing some file transfering between both of my PC everything was ok with the speed.

Sounds to me like either a program on your PC is blocking certain ip address's maybe a adblocker or some thing like that, what I wiould do is log into your router and ping the web sites tio see if it connects or even what was suggested earlier buy connecting your pc directly to the modem bypassing the router and see if it is the router blocking things.

Which software firewall are you using are you using anyother software to block ADs or ip address's what about your hosts file list located C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ or %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\ has anyone added to that or even a DNS site could have the same effect a site like open DNS has filters on it that can cause the same thing if you turn them on.

I do not use any firewall program or any other software blocking adds.

I've take a look at my host file and nothing appear to be wrong.

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

Later, when kids and wife will be sleeping, i will re-plug my router. More news to comes.
