There seems to be a problem with the Metro Apps in Windows 8 and 8.1 that suddenly one day you find that most of your Metro apps can’t connect to Internet or can’t get the Internet access even if your Internet connection is working fine with all your desktop apps. Many people are facing this problem and getting the error “unable to connect to internet, check your network connection” .

I myself faced this problem for past few days and then I searched all over the internet to find the solution for this. And I found number of threads on number of forums and this problem is discussed in Microsoft’s own forums but their Engineers couldn’t give the perfect solution for this. They suggested some tips and settings and at last suggested to refresh the Windows installation. But the same problem persisted even after refreshing.

That left me with a blank mind with nothing at all working but soon I discovered the problem and got a very easy solution for it. The solution to this problem is just the piece of cake! It’s so simple! Here it is:
