Connection failed on all videos?

Connection failed on all videos? Hello i am very new to all of this and dont understand what is going on? I was able to connect to zmovies but i cannot play any movies at all? I keep getting Connection failed over and over on all vids. I am running windows 7 and have a DSL modem. My husband is connected to the same modem and has no issues at all. He can play all the movies i cant. I have tried to get windows to diagnose the issues but they say there are none and all the sites that "check" to see if the other sites are working say that they are. So what is going on? One min i can use it the next i cant. Literally. I have also ran AVG pro and Malwarebytes several times and it says there are no issues. I did a check for the DNS (?) virus but i have . . . . . as my IP addresses which is normal or so i have read. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

I would also like to point out that i cannot connect to any online games either. Like world of warcraft or D2. It says connection failed.

If i am trying to watch from the same site then it is telling me to install a codec pack which i dont think is a very good idea, because then your computer becomes more prone to viruses. Also, which browser are you using and what is the computer specifications you are having? What does your Lan card connect to, how is your system set up? If it connects to a router, is the router assigning the network IP address or? __________________ 90% of everything is crap...except for crap, because crap is 100% crap Reply With Quote #4 Unread 10-03-2012 technologic's Avatar technologic technologic is offline Member Join Date: Mar 2012 Posts: 5 Re: Connection failed on all videos? You could potentially install the codec and use some kind of video downloader software to capture the video, then restore your system to a previous state. Yes risky, but it just depends on what you are willing to do for the file. This is something I have done in the past and have come out pretty much unscathed.

If it connects to a router, is the router assigning the network IP address or? I dont have the codec pack that i know of. I did instal K-lite as i have always had that on all my comps. I am using Firefox. I added all plug-ins and did full updates on everything that was available. (windows, java, flash player ect) My computer was turned off and the the power was pulled and drained. (button pushed to empty mother board) Then the portal was d/c for over an hour. Plugged the portal back in and then the comp and was able to play wow. I still cannot play any vids at all on any server site, still says connection failed. So i disabled TCP/IPv6 did this.. an started a video... but turned it off cuz it was a lame one and then i tried another one from the same place (Vidreel) and it said connection failed. Now all connection from every link on the zmovies site fails. I did however open the same site in Internet explorer and it works but it is VERY choppy and the graphics seem to go to crap instantly So weird!
