Sorry, if i haven't posted this in the right section but i'm getting pretty desperate.

This morning i left my laptop downloading an update for my itouch, i came back 2 hours later to find my browsers not working. It says i am connected to the network and i am able to play WoW and use limewire without an issue, but every web browser i use won't connect, it is constantly "contacting www.google.com.au" etc.. i did a traceroute to find that there was a connection to these websites. MSN and Itunes Store also do not work. All other computers on my network seem to be fine.

edit: A bit more info; I've tried explorer,chrome,safari and firefox, none seem to work. I am using Windows Vista SP1 and im on a HP Pavilion Dv5

Thanks

Are you using a firewall? If you do, try with firewall turned OFF.

Do your browsers have proxy settings? Have you tried restarting? That fixed my network problems before.
