    Weird Internet connectivity issue?

    I have a weird internet problem, my internet seems only able to access certain website and not others.

    For example, I can browse BG or google just fine, but the rest of the websites I cant access, I cant connect to ventrilo either, or any other MMO. When I troubleshoot my internet connection the popup says "Your computers seems to be properly configured, but the device or resource (microsoft.com) is not responding."

    I tried the usual unplug router/reset modem, I also updated the network adapter driver. Didn't do anything. I tried to connect directly from a modem too, same thing still happens.

    Anyone have any idea what's going on?

    Did you try disabling/reenabling your network adapter? That worked for me a few nights ago when i had a similar problem. In windows 7 its in the Network and Sharing center. Also flush your dns from command prompt "ipconfig /flushdns" which can then be followed by ipconfig /registerdns . Not sure if you've already tried these sorry in advance if you have.

    Do you have another device to try from besides the machine you're having issues with?

    I had a similar problem and found out that my ISP blocked a lot of the file downloading sites (hotfile, despositfiles, etc). Either outright blocked (no error, just doesn't load) or capped them at maybe 10kb/s or less.

    the issue resolved by itself, I guess that was the ISP's fault or something? which was wierd cuz my connection shows no problem at all. I did a tracert did fine the first couple of hops before it stop responding.
