no need to reset bios if u r LAN is working. (u r windows os and LAN port is working fine).

check u r browser proxy settings. (enable or disable according to u r hostel network settings).

and also check if u have enabled any firewall. try running the Network Setup Wizard also

try with different browsers.


if these doesn't work check with u r hostel network admin (he may have blocked new hosts in the router ....).
