Internet Issues

thetwenty0ne · 03-22-2008, 11:02 PM

I'm having some really weird internet issues that started this morning. I'm connected to my wireless network, full signal, but I can only connect to certain websites. For instance, I can connect to Myspace, Gamespot.com, AOL, etc., but I cannot connect to Youtube, Xbox.com, and many others. On some sites, such as Facebook, I can see the homepage, but when I stray away from the homepage, I get the "Problem Loading Page" screen. I can always connect to the first set, and never the second set. I can't connect to Xbox Live either. I'm guessing this has to do with my internet provider (Wowway), but I've never come across something like this. Any suggestions, other than call in Wowway to come fix this?

Thanks for the help.

Check your firewall settings, and make sure it's not blocking anything it shouldn't.

Reset your modem, restart your computer, and restart your router.

Might as well get those out of the way.
