I had problems like this and it turned out to be a problem with my wifi
access point/router. A week before I had a network outage and when they
were fixing it the tech replaced the router and had several settings
involving various DOS attack detection. I was connected to the internet,
but my local wifi had the symptoms you describe. I disabled syn attack
detection and another that I don't remember and from that point
everything worked fine.
