PWaddict Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I have on idea why suddenly I can't access specific sites like github.com, gravatar.com (which means I can't see your gravatars here on PW forum), my bank's e-banking site and others. I tried to access them with different browsers but no luck. I'm getting the error ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT and when I'm running the Windows Network Diagnostics I'm getting this: I used the command ipconfig /flushdns, I rebooted my router, I disabled Avast Free Antivirus and still I can't access them. What should I do to fix it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwired Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Some things to check that are usually overlooked: 1. Your internet provider could have changed some settings on their side. In that case you have to reboot your router. 2. Your internet provider can have a temporary dns problem. Configure your network adapter from dynamic to a static dns, e.g. the one that google provides (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and see what happens. Open up a cmd or terminal window and ping a few different public ip's to check your internet line. 3 Uninstalling an Anti Virus program or a vpn can leave an abandoned virtual adapter or private settings in your network adapter.

PWaddict Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 @pwired I've already rebooted my router multiple times. I switched to google's dns (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) but I'm having the same problem. I haven't uninstalled my antivirus, I've only temporary disabled it.

flydev Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 In incognito mode, the websites load correctly ? Also you can try to clear the DNS cache, in a terminal type : 1) ipconfig /flushdns 2) ipconfig /registerdns 3) ipconfig /release 4) ipconfig /renew 5) netsh winsock reset If it doesn't work, you should open a ticket on your ISP. PS: I had problem accessing Github and ProcessWire this last 23 April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWaddict Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Haven't call my ISP yet cause I thought to do 1 last thing. I disconnected my router and connected to internet from an old router and now everything is working fine. So the problem is caused by the newest router. I guess I should hard reset it.

wbmnfktr Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Did your router get and auto-update or something like that? Maybe one of the following settings is mis-configured. Safe-surf (child protection, adult filter) White-/Blacklist misconfiguration Are all devices in your network affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWaddict Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 A hard reset and a reboot fixed the problem Thank you all for trying to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
