Internet keeps dying on my wired PC, Exhausted Pool of TCPIP Ports??

I've ran into an odd problem these past few days.
The internet on my PC (Wired) seems to die. No web browsers work, Windows Store, Steam etc. Yet I can oddly ping any website I want and that works fine.

This happened under Windows 10, so I decided to reformat and try 11. It still happened. I then used a newer driver for the Realtek Ethernet and I thought that would fix it, but no.

I can't even access the router itself (192.168.1.1). Nothing "loads" it just instantly times out. No connection.

I can see my NAS drive and access files through that no problem. Any other devices on the network, both wired and wireless work perfect. It is just this PC that is doing it and only in the past week.

A reboot fixes the problem every time.

Diving into event viewer, I found these two entries.

Code:
TCP/IP failed to establish an outgoing connection because the selected local endpoint was recently used to connect to the same remote endpoint.
    This error typically occurs when outgoing connections are opened and closed at a high rate, causing all available local ports to be used and forcing TCP/IP to reuse a local port for an outgoing connection.
    To minimize the risk of data corruption, the TCP/IP standard requires a minimum time period to elapse between successive connections from a given local endpoint to a given remote endpoint.

And

Code:
A request to allocate an ephemeral port number from the global TCP port space has failed due to all such ports being in use.

I found a potential fix here, tried it, but it still does it.

Any ideas? Driving me a bit mad all this.
