The parent problem is that my internet WiFi is connected to the pc but my browsers won't load anything or any webpage

Did you ever change the DNS on iOS, if yes change it back to it's original (192.168.1.1)

You can do this on your PC too,
1.Go to the Control Panel.
2.Click Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change adapter settings.
3.Select the connection for which you want to configure Google Public DNS. ...
4.Select the Networking tab. ...
5.Click Advanced and select the DNS tab. ...
6.Click OK.
Windows 7

Hope to help!

Hi

After doing the above, it auto launches windows diagnostics and says the DNS server isn't replying and brower gives an error "check proxy, firewall and Dns configuration"

 

[frankmattdsouza]

And I'm currently on Windows 10

 

[Isokolon]

having set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 is no problem at all, it's the Google DNS Servers, they're usually more stable than the probably crappy servers of your ISP

does you Firewall block port 80?
can you open the interface of your modem?
can you ping the modem`?
can you ping an IP address?
can you do a traceroute to an IP address? if it fails: where does it fail?

 

[frankmattdsouza]

[I've disabled all antivirus programs for now.

And I really don't know how to do all the other things you asked me.

How do I execute each of those tasks?

Frank

 

[Isokolon]

I can guide you through.

first right click on the start menu button and open "CMD" or "command prompt"
then enter in the newly opened window "tracert 8.8.8.8"
the first line displayed will be your modem and will look like " 1 <1ms <1ms <1ms 192.XXX.X.X"
the IP displayed is the IP of your modem.
the traceroute will end with the words "traceroute finished". if the last line shows the IP 8.8.8.8, then your connection is generally fine. if it doesn't or there's an error on the way, copy+paste it here.
either way inform us about the results pls.

Xkaniz,

I did as you said and still nothing. Also, the preferred DNS server address was already set at 192.168.1.1

Try setting both to 192.168.1.1, and inform us what happened

 

[frankmattdsouza]

Hi,

It says "the alternate dns server cannot be the same as the preferred DNS server. Please enter a different IP address for the alternate Dns server"

 

[Isokolon]

it's a mere DNS problem

set you primary to 8.8.8.8
and your secondary to 8.8.4.4
should work like a charm

 

[frankmattdsouza]

Hi Isokolon,

Changed the DNS to the ones you asked.
No change. The error message on the browser window says "twitter.com unexpectedly closed the conn. Try: checking the connection, checking the proxy and firewall"

 

[Isokolon]

do you got this problem with every browser?
can you open the 52.204.157.15?

 

[frankmattdsouza]

Hello,

Some websites are working like the one which you aksed sent me to tomshardware.co.uk,

Facebook worked too.

Twitter, Gmail and discogs didn't open

 

[Isokolon]

are you sure FB works and you're not shown just a chached version of the site?
because it very much looks like the dns decyprtion doesn't work
normally, setting your dns servers manually it should work just fine unless your ISP has some twisted settings on their end

 

[frankmattdsouza]

If I click anywhere on a Facebook link, like "home" or "profile", it loads very well.

However, the auto-load pages which are pre set to launch in starting chrome do not load

 

[frankmattdsouza]

Also, the omnibox function in chrome isn't working. Like I cannot type in "twitter.com" in the chrome search bar and land there or even the results page for that matter

 

[frankmattdsouza]

Meanwhile, Opera Browser is working just fine. But I really need to get back on Chrome. Is there a way to fix this?

 

[Isokolon]

sounds like your chrome is broken.
try deinstalling it, clearing leftovers in the registry and reinstall.
