Networking – I can Ping facebook but browser keep showing time out error

browserfacebooknetworkingtimeout

it's been more than 4 weeks now that facebook occasionally go down for me, it start by saying that it can't connect to chat, then when i reload the page it tells me that i don't have internet, but i do, every other website works perfectly, i tried using almost all the available browsers, i also tried on other PC and even tried on a Macbook but still the same issue.

When i try "Ping www.facebook.com" on command prompt (win7) it works and most of the time when i type the facebook Ip on the browser it works either.

here is the things i tried so far to solve this problem !

  • restart the router

  • clear browser cookies/cache and remove all extensions except the very
    basics one

  • Ipconfig /renew

  • Ipconfig /release (it took time more than it needed so i canceled it
    )

Remark
I can access facebook.com at any time using a proxy server from website like proxy4free.com, but it's annoying and facebook keep blocking my account and asking for new permission everytime i do that.

One last information, 99% of the time am using my laptop and connecting without a cable but i also tried using cable and there is no difference at all.

Thank you

Problems like this are caused by DNS of provider. Try set up Google DNS IP's for your connection.
