The user is unable to access specific websites from their computer, while others on the same network and the user's mobile device can access them. This indicates a localized issue with the computer's internet connectivity.
No, not that I recall.
Windows
Wi-Fi
Yes, most other sites work fine.
It just says 'This site can't be reached' or 'Page not found'.
Your computer might be using incorrect or outdated DNS server information, preventing it from resolving the IP addresses of the inaccessible websites.
Your computer's firewall or antivirus software might be mistakenly blocking access to these specific websites.
If your network uses a proxy server, your computer's proxy settings might be incorrect or the proxy itself might be blocking certain sites.
Your computer's network configuration files (like IP stack) might be corrupted, leading to connectivity problems.
🤖 AI Analysis
"The user is experiencing issues accessing specific websites, while most others work fine. This suggests a potential DNS resolution problem. Flushing the DNS cache is a common and effective first step to resolve such issues by forcing the system to get updated DNS records."
🤖 AI Analysis
"Similar to flushing the DNS cache, changing DNS servers can resolve issues where the current DNS server is having trouble resolving specific domain names. This is a strong candidate given the problem description of inaccessible specific sites."
🤖 AI Analysis
"Incorrect proxy settings can prevent access to specific websites, especially internal company portals. Since the user is on Wi-Fi and accessing a company portal, it's plausible that a proxy is involved and misconfigured."
🤖 AI Analysis
"If a proxy is indeed in use (as suggested by the previous solution), but is causing issues with specific sites, bypassing those sites through the proxy configuration is a direct solution to the problem."
🤖 AI Analysis
"Resetting network settings can resolve a wide range of network connectivity issues, including those that might affect access to specific websites. It's a more comprehensive step but can be effective if simpler solutions don't work."
🤖 AI Analysis
"Releasing and renewing an IP address can fix temporary network glitches that might be preventing access to certain resources. While less likely to be the primary cause for specific site inaccessibility compared to DNS or proxy issues, it's still a valid network troubleshooting step."
🤖 AI Analysis
"Firewall or antivirus software can sometimes block access to legitimate websites. Temporarily disabling them is a good diagnostic step to rule out this possibility, especially for internal company portals which might be flagged by security software."
🤖 AI Analysis
"Checking firewall/antivirus logs can provide specific information about why certain websites are being blocked. This is a more advanced diagnostic step that can pinpoint the exact cause if security software is the culprit."
Forum thread addressing exactly the problem of certain websites failing on one specific computer but working on others on the same network, suggesting browser tests, proxy checks, date/time sync, and safe mode.
Discusses a identical issue where one computer on WiFi can't access specific sites while others can, with solutions like changing DNS to Google's (8.8.8.8), flushing DNS, and checking Chrome's internal DNS.
Provides step-by-step troubleshooting for site access issues specific to one computer, including disabling firewall, clearing browser cache, restarting router, and checking ISP blocks.
