I have an issue with my internet connection at the moment, and in a few seconds, you'll see why I'm asking you guys on PC rather than searching it on google, etc.

For some reason, certain sites, all search engines, and some forums (like DeviantART) aren't working for me. I've tried to get them both on Firefox and on IE, but neither of them seem to work.

Some guy at Future Shop told me to reset the settings on IE. I tried it, and it worked for a few hours... then it stopped. I have no idea why.

Here's a list of the sites that aren't working (in case it helps). I'll edit as I find out more:

Google, Yahoo, and basically all search engines
Facebook
DeviantART
BlackSunGraphics

and that's about it for now.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

run your Anti-Virus/Spyware/Adware programs and try doing a Hard system reboot (ie: shutting down let it sit for a minute or 2 while you go get a snack etc.. then restarting it) if that doesn't do it then try another browser like Opera and see if that'll pick up those sites. if it still doesn't then, try clearing your system internet cache (usually found in the CP under Internet Options.)
