Can't download Google products through wifi?

Lancerx on 05/01/2016 - 01:44

Hi all,

I came across a very weird problem here. I tried to download chrome & Google Drive on my newly reformatted PC through wifi dongle, but chrome will stuck at "downloading" with zero progress forever. However, when I use another laptop to connect through LAN cable to my modem, chrome will download itself just fine. What the hell is going on here? I still can download adobe reader etc with no issue too. It seem the problem only lies with google products. I can't seem to work around it. Please help me figure out. Thanks!

    Can you copy and paste your hosts file here?

    Go through your wifi network card settings and make sure all is in order.

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/change-tcp-ip-set…

    Use those instructions to compare the "ethernet" settings with the "wifi" card settings

      oh and start up command prompt and type

      tracert www.google.com

      Are you getting results to the end?

        are you using https websites? is your system time and date correct? are you updated to the latest build?

        disabled peerblock and firewalls?
