ok, sometimes, google doesnt work, or photobucket, yahoo, etc...seems to be most of my highstream websites that i visit don't work from time to time, but when i reboot everything is fine for a bit and then it goes down again. all started after i installed microsoft's anti-spyware program anyone have any ideas? oh yea, and when i ping google and yahoo it comes up as the same IP checked my hosts file and its only got localhost in there.
Are you using a firewall? The same thing happens to me sometimes... I just close firefox and disconnect from the net and then reconnect, and it sems to work again. Looking for a permanent fix though.
