Dragonflight Season 4 Content Update Notes
We finally know WoW's sub count post-Legion! (kinda)
MMO-Champion
Recently I upgraded both my gaming rig and htpc to Win8 Pro x64. Since then both machines fail to load web pages every 2-3 attempts.
Specs for both machines are in my signature. After upgrading and activating both systems I wiped them and performed a clean install.
I used the latest drivers from the motherboard manufactures and in some cases went to the individual components site. I didn't use the MS included Ethernet drivers.
Both machines are on wired connections. At fist I thought my router or modem might be having issues but it don't affect the smart tv(wired) or the 3rd pc running on a wireless connection with Win7. Forgot to mention it happens on IE, Chrome, and Firefox.
Hoping someone has a solution as I would really like to keep using 8.
For anyone interested I upgraded for cloud user accounts, storage spaces, and possible Angry Birds in Space.

Can ping the websites you wish to access? (open cmd and type "ping google.com")

I ran several pings on google.com with no packet loss. Latency is around 40-50ms every attempt.

As much as I hate saying this, try disabling IPv6. It is enabled by default and your ISP may have a broken implementation that causes some odd errors:

spaces because I don't think I can post urls yet.
Please note, that at some point in the future you will want to re-enable this.

I can't disable v6 without breaking homegroup. Though I can disable the dual-stack mode on my router.
