I'm trying to fix a friends notebook for him. I built it for him a month or so ago, and everything has worked great, up until last night.
Websites just won't load. IE and Mozilla (which I just installed to make sure it wasn't just some IE problem) find the website (google.com, microsoft.com, etc.), but it just stalls and says "Waiting for [insert any website]..."
However, I can ping any website and immediately get a reply. Anti-virus is disabled, there is no firewall installed (and the Windows firewall is disabled), and all settings that I could think to check out look fine. (Edit) Forgot to say that if I wait long enough, IE tells me "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
Thanks in advance!
