I'm sure this is another evil Windows 8.1 issue... I can ping my router, I can ping websites but no browsers (or other windows apps it seems) can get a net connection. I have disabled my firewall, it doesn't help. Any ideas please?
Try a winsocket reset from cmd 1. Start CMD as admin 2. type 'netsh winsock reset' without '' 3. Restart
Thanks but that didn't help. As predicted it was Windows **** ass****ing ****ing ***ing mother****ing son-of-a-**** **** 8.1 When I disabled Window's LLDP services attached to the network adaptor, it started working. I presume it uses LLDP for it's home network client id stuff. I can live without it. God knows why it broke, probably will never find out....
