Internet Issue

[howcow95]

This is weird, my internet is up and I can log in to the Runescape website including the forums but not in-game, and I can log in to Sythe and I can post threads, but if I try to visit any other website it says it can't connect?

Any idea why this is happening and what might be causing it?

Wrong section, try tech support

could be a few issues;

try downloading FireFox, if the same problems exist, then the sites are probably being filtered by your router, firewall or some other software, however, if you can access the sites with FireFox, then the problem is with IE.

you could've installed some type of security software recently, anything with a custom HOSTS file or blocking options. you can check using notepad; open windows explorer and go to tools > folder options > view tab and click 'show hidden files and folders' to see it.

check your firewall block list.

run any anti-virus/malware scans you've had before the problem occured.
