I'm not very keen with my computer terminology but I'll try to explain my situation as best as I can.

I think the problem started a with a recent trip where I went out of state and took my laptop, I had trouble connecting to the wifi there. I originally had a bridged connection between Ethernet and wifi I believe (something I've been told shouldn't be the problem) and I had to take that off for my wifi to work there and once I did that my wifi worked fine there. Once I came home though, my computer will connect to my home wifi and say I have "internet access" but won't load anything on Firefox or Internet Explorer. I've already tried to rebuild the bridge, restart my laptop, and do virus scans. I know my Internet works so if anyone could help me figure out what's to change in my settings or anything I would greatly appreciate it.
