Welcome to WTT Bannanners I'm sorry to hear about your issue but we will try to resolve it as quickly as possible for you. First off is what OS are you using?

You can try this and see if this will help your speed also.


In Microsoft Windows, you can use the command ipconfig /flushdns to flush the DNS resolver cache.
Go to Start and then to Run
Type in cmd and then right click on the command window and then click on Run As Administrator.click
At the command prompt type the following and click Enter:

C:>ipconfig /flushdns

Note the space between the g and the /

When done you should see the following:

I get these 2 Errors Alot when i try to open up a web page now This webpage is not available Google Chrome cannot reach the website. This is typically caused by network issues, but can also be the result of a misconfigured firewall or proxy server. Here are some suggestions: Reload this webpage later. Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again. If you use a proxy server, check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server, adjust your proxy settings: Go to the wrench menu > Settings > Show advanced settings… > Change proxy settings… > LAN Settings and deselect the "Use a proxy server for your LAN" checkbox. Error 109 (net::ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE): Unable to reach the server. This webpage is not available Google Chrome could not load the webpage because login.live.com took too long to respond. The website may be down, or you may be experiencing issues with your Internet connection. Here are some suggestions: Reload this webpage later. Check your Internet connection. Restart any router, modem, or other network devices you may be using. Add Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall's or antivirus software's settings.

Did you try my suggestions?

Yes i did try it and nothing came up when i typed in the command, I also found out that it is just my Laptop because Everyone else n my family can acces the internet with normal speeds

When it was done you should have seen this message below.

Windows IP Configuration

Oh it worked just now so is that all that i can do? to help my laptop? And i didnt mention this before but i cant get online with my Playstation 3 either. When i try and sign in it gives me an error that has something to do with a DNS error.

The question is does it work now or still the same issue? What browser do you use also? Chrome, IE or FireFox and what version?

It did not fix the initial probleme and il check to see if i have the newest version of Google Chrome and while im at it il try and see if the probleme is just with chome il try and use IE too and see if that helps

It did not fix the initial probleme, I use Chrome but im going to try IE and see if thats slow as well

Yeah Im not seeing much of a difference from the Command and i just tried Internet Explorer And There is no Difference still very slow

ok do you use a router or modem to connect to the internet? You may have to do a hard reboot of them to reset everything. Unplug the computer from the router or modem, then disconnect the internet from which ever you have. Then unplug the power from it for at least 5 minutes. Reconnect everything first then plug the power back into the router or modem and see if that helps. That should clear the memory in them and put everything into factory new again thus clearing any baddies they may be holding on to.
