I had a similar problem..
My cure was in the hosts file. C:\windows\system32
\drivers\etc\.

I found that there was a lot of unknown entries in there.
I deleted everything but made sure that the only entry in
there was:

127.0.0.1 localhost

After saving the file I set it to read only. rebooted the
pc, and all was well again.
