One of my computers - the desktop - is having problems with surfing the web. It works fine with its torrent client, and Skype works on it too. But it can't connect to HTTP websites. It just gets hung up endlessly. The computer connects to the router via LAN. I have another computer which connects wirelessly to the same router and it has no problem surfing the web. The desktop worked fine until about 3 days ago. Anybody have an idea what the problem might be?

what operate system and type of browser firefox , IE what version last updates? etc do you have more then one browser installed try the other. You have internet to that PC so would think it is a browser problem.

May be just a setting in the browser proxy etc but whom ever helps needs to know what your using.

DNS Maybe?

Open a command prompt.

Type "NSLOOKUP" and hit enter.

Enter "www.ibm.com" and see if it can do the lookups.

I have tried 3 different browsers none work. It's Windows 7.

I typed in NSLOOKUP and here is what i got on both my computers. So it looks like whatever that was supposed to diagnose is okay in the computer in question.

Are there proxy settings in your browser?

Would be the only way to make your browser access the net in a different way then your other programs.

Do you always have this problem, or only when your torrent client is running?

You have a packet loss on your LAN connection. Try replacing your network cable, clean LAN ports on both PC and the router.
