XmisterIS Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Quite regularly, Google chrome tells me "Your Internet Access Is Blocked" and refuses to connect to the internet, no matter how many times I refresh the page.The solution I've found is to open a command prompt and ping a known URL or I.P. address (typically I just ping Google).The first ping request ALWAYS times out, the subsequent ones get a response, and then I am able to connect to the net via Chrome.My other browsers (Opera, Firefox, Internet Explorer) seem unaffected.Any ideas?!

Stu Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Mine has been doing the same over the last couple of days I think there is a bug in the latest update as it only started after chrome updated Quote
RantMachine Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 OH LOOK updating something made it not work properly... Quote
Arwen Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Is it happening in incognito mode as well? If not then it is one of your extensions playing up. Disable them all then turn them on one by one to see where the problem is. Also, what OS are you using? Is there any weird DNS servers or strange gateway in your network settings?

rennie Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 I use chrome! it updated yesterday!no problems so far Quote
XmisterIS Posted October 11, 2016 Author Posted October 11, 2016 Well, I tried all the suggestions in this thread (thank you for trying to help), but no dice!So I didn't fix it ... but I have hacked it! I've stuck an asynchronous curl request (effectively, a ping) into the windows startup sequence. It cures the problem. Quote
Mr Fro Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 ...I've stuck an asynchronous curl request into the windows startup sequence...Yeah... that's exactly what I would have done. Quote
mas101 Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 What sort of internet do you have?That sounds like your router is configured not to keep an active connection. Try having a look at the logs in the router and see if you are getting timeouts or if it is dropping the connection.I've seen similar issues with ISDN and old modems. I can see you might get the same with DSL if the connection is taking a while to initialise. Quote
