Anyone know what his means? Im using chrome. Web browsing is very slow. At the bottom left when I'm trying to get onto a website it says "resolving host."

It's working fine now. What could the problem have been. Came back by itself.

Resolving host is a DNS issue; if you're behind a wireless router, it could theoretically be the router's connection dropping (it also happens on wired connections, but it's much more rare), if you're on a wired connection, odds are the ISP's router that you connect to got overloaded upstream from you.

So should that happen again and it doesn't come back, should a reboot of the modem/router/computer help?

50/50.  Definitely can't hurt.
