Wifi working but internet not connecting on any browser?

Question

So I've had this problem for a while now and I've tried almost every solution there is (I was searching on another computer) and the internet is still not working for Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox! The wifi is always connected and Skype works but the browsers dont! Help!

PS: in the Wifi Network Connection Status window in the Activity section there's this icon of a hand underneath the computer icon and to the left of the Wifi connection icon. What does this mean?

Answer 1

In most cases when independent applications can connect to the Internet and a browser can not, this the solution.



First scan thoroughly the computer for Virus and Malware.

If clean. or after cleaning do this.



WinSock and TCP/IP Refresh.

Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.

Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a Command Prompt as an Administrator. Allow elevation.

Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt , and then press the Enter key.

Do the same process for refreshing the TCP/IP just replace the typed command with.

netsh interface ipv4 reset press Enter

netsh interface ipv6 reset press Enter

ipconfig /flushdns press Enter

Restart your Computer.

Answer 2

Internet Working But Not Browser

Answer 3

This is probably because of DNS, Skype uses another way to connect to the internet and this is why it works, make sure your DNS is correct

Answer 4

Have you tried disabling WiFi on your computer and then enabling it? That's what I do when I have this problem.
