Hi all,

 

I wonder if anyone can help please?  I have an issue on a clients XP SP3

ADSL router, and ping hosts on the internet via hostname and IP address. 
However they are unable to browse web pages using any browser.

 

I have tried all the tricks that I know to resolve this, but the issue still 
persists.

 

The steps I have tried are:

 

Ensured no proxy server settings are checked

Ensured that DHCP and DNS are working correctly

Ensured that ping responses are successful via both hostname and IP address

Flushed the DNS cache
Released and renewed IP via DHCP

Tried multiple browsers (Firefox, IE, Google Chrome)

Dumped the IE cache

Installed all the latest patches

Uninstalled expired anti-virus products (i understand that Norton has been a 
cause of this in the past, but n this case the AV is Avast Home Edition)

Switched off any personal firewalls

Unsuccessfully rolled back to a System restore point three months old

Trouble-shot the NIC to ensure successful operation

Reset the winsock catalog

Removed the winsock and winsock2 registry entries

Reinstalled the TCP stack

Swearing at it

 

I am poised with the XP install disk and ready to wipe the OS and rebuild the

Hi all,

 

I wonder if anyone can help please?  I have an issue on a clients XP SP3

However they are unable to browse web pages using any browser.

 

I have tried all the tricks that I know to resolve this, but the issue still 
persists.

 

The steps I have tried are:

 

Ensured no proxy server settings are checked

Ensured that DHCP and DNS are working correctly

Ensured that ping responses are successful via both hostname and IP address

Flushed the DNS cache
Released and renewed IP via DHCP

Tried multiple browsers (Firefox, IE, Google Chrome)

Dumped the IE cache

Installed all the latest patches

Uninstalled expired anti-virus products (i understand that Norton has been a 
cause of this in the past, but n this case the AV is Avast Home Edition)

Switched off any personal firewalls

Unsuccessfully rolled back to a System restore point three months old

Trouble-shot the NIC to ensure successful operation

Reset the winsock catalog

Removed the winsock and winsock2 registry entries

Reinstalled the TCP stack

Swearing at it

 

I am poised with the XP install disk and ready to wipe the OS and rebuild the

Yes - the proper command is 'quit' - what you got means you got a
connection to the web site.

Actually, typing almost anything and pressing enter at that point
should get you something this:

Port 80 blocked?

2010-08-19 Thread Mark Robinson
Hi all,

 

I wonder if anyone can help please?  I have an issue on a clients XP SP3
machine in that they are able to successfully connect to the internet
via an ADSL router, and ping hosts on the internet via hostname and IP
address. However they are unable to browse web pages using any browser.

 

I have tried all the tricks that I know to resolve this, but the issue
still persists.

 

The steps I have tried are:

 

Ensured no proxy server settings are checked

Ensured that DHCP and DNS are working correctly

Ensured that ping responses are successful via both hostname and IP
address

Flushed the DNS cache
Released and renewed IP via DHCP

Tried multiple browsers (Firefox, IE, Google Chrome)

Dumped the IE cache

Installed all the latest patches

Uninstalled expired anti-virus products (i understand that Norton has
been a cause of this in the past, but n this case the AV is Avast Home
Edition)

Switched off any personal firewalls

Unsuccessfully rolled back to a System restore point three months old

Trouble-shot the NIC to ensure successful operation

Reset the winsock catalog

Removed the winsock and winsock2 registry entries

Reinstalled the TCP stack

Swearing at it

 

I am poised with the XP install disk and ready to wipe the OS and
rebuild the machine, but I thought I'd see if anyone on this list had
resolved this issue before?

 

Many thanks!


Mark

Oh yes, sorry I forgot to mention that I'd checked this and it only had
the loopback address listed which seemed fine.  I could always lift a
copy from another XP machine and copy it over the top I guess just to be
sure...

Flushed the DNS cache

Dumped the IE cache

Installed all the latest patches

Uninstalled expired anti-virus products (i understand that Norton has
been a cause of this in the past, but n this case the AV is Avast Home

Switched off any personal firewalls

Unsuccessfully rolled back to a System restore point three months old

Trouble-shot the NIC to ensure successful operation

Reinstalled the TCP stack

Swearing at it

 

I am poised with the XP install disk and ready to wipe the OS and rebuild
the machine, but I thought I'd see if anyone on this list had resolved this
issue before?

 

Many thanks!

I have used 'HiJackThis' and also a lesser known spyware scanner and
resolved all issues  / deleted all bugs that were raised by these
programs.  I will download Vipre Rescue, thanks for the advice.

Hmm... have you done a malware scan with something like Vipre Rescue
and/or Malware Bytes and/or SpyBot SD? I've seen something similar
happen when a machine was infested with Malware.

Hi all,

 

I wonder if anyone can help please?  I have an issue on a clients XP SP3
machine in that they are able to successfully connect to the internet
via an ADSL router, and ping hosts on the internet via hostname and IP
address. However they are unable to browse web pages using any browser.

 

I have tried all the tricks that I know to resolve this, but the issue
still persists.

 

The steps I have tried are:

 

Ensured no proxy server settings are checked

Ensured that DHCP and DNS are working correctly

Ensured that ping responses are successful via both hostname and IP
address

Flushed the DNS cache
Released and renewed IP via DHCP

Tried multiple browsers (Firefox, IE, Google Chrome)

Dumped the IE cache

Installed all the latest patches

Uninstalled expired anti-virus products (i understand that Norton has
been a cause of this in the past, but n this case the AV is Avast Home
Edition)

Switched off any personal firewalls

Unsuccessfully rolled back to a System restore point three months old

Trouble-shot the NIC to ensure successful operation

Reset the winsock catalog

Removed the winsock and winsock2 registry entries

Reinstalled the TCP stack

Swearing at it

 

I am poised with the XP install disk and ready to wipe the OS and
rebuild the machine, but I thought I'd see if anyone on this list had
resolved this issue before?

 

Many thanks!


Mark

You're welcome. Not saying that's the problem, but I've seen that sort of
problem cause the symptoms you're describing.
