I cant connect to some websites?

Hi Kyle,
You may want to try this link, it has to do with DNS Fetching in Google Chrome.

You said "some" websites, so you have connectivity to other sites like msn.com or google.com and this site as well?

Aside from this, I know you said you are certain the sites are up...
However, from your PC, have you tried pinging the sites using Windows command line (Start > Run > cmd > enter) and then Ping http://www.whatever.com?

Have you verified the status of the Local Area Network Adapter in windows control panel ?

Have you power-cycled your cable modem and router and rebooted your workstation one time?

You can flush the dns resolver cache too, that sometimes helps.
...(command line) and then type "ipconfig -flushdns" {enter}

Have you completely cleared all cookies and browser data from Chrome?
...Click the "Customize and control Google Chrome" button (has three horizontal stripes) then select Settings, then click "show advanced settings", then Clear Browsing Data"

Good luck, I know windows 8 can be loads of fun (kidding) because Microsoft seems to think they know what we want to click on next and throw hurdles in our way.

Hope this helps.
