Internet behaving weird: can connect and search on Google, but no other sites load. [Solved]
So basically I've had this computer for years, on dozens (literally) of different networks, and never had a problem connecting to the internet. But today I moved it to my girlfriend's house, and today she also got internet for the first time; from Sky. The line was activated today, and instantly both our phones and her laptop got full connectivity through the wireless.
My computer, however, is connected via the ethernet (as it normally is on other networks) but no sites work bar Google and Youtube. On Google I can search for anything, and the results load instantly, however clicking on any links causes it to say "Loading..." for ages and never actually loads any other sites. Also, on Youtube the videos never load, though the pages for said-videos work fine.
What's really particular is that if I tether my phone to my PC I can access the internet absolutely fine and completely, if a little slowly, through the wireless. Though this really isn't a long-term solution.
[edit]Oh, and I've since run a host of antimalware software, including (but not limited to): SUPERAntiSpyware, avast!, Malwarebytes Antimalware, rkill, RogueKiller and tdsskiller. None of them found anything bar a couple cookies. I've also flushed my DNS, tried turning off IPv6, restarting the PC and router in various orders, resetting the router, turning off all firewalls, and updating all my drivers (specifically focussed on the ethernet drivers).[/edit]
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
