Can't reach some web sites?

My new laptop (90 days) has been giving me fits today.  I have tried a reboot, and also a 3 hour shut-down.

I can reach AOL, Google, one European newspaper I access daily & Ebay

I can't reach my bank, Summit Health Care portal, the Royal Horticultural Society (UK), and several others.  These all give me a timeout due to the time it takes to get a response.

Any idea what is going on?

what browser are you using? I sometimes find Firefox will not open a web site and just sits there, acting as if it's trying to connect, but the same site will open promptly with another browser like Chrome.


I use Google chrome


Can you get to them from your phone while connected to your wifi?

And just for the helluiva it, can you try with a different browser?
