I'm going to go out with a bang like terrorists


« on: September 16, 2008, 02:34:58 PM »

I have an interesting problem. On my old XP desktop, I can connect with my email program (Windows Live Mail), but not with my browser. I've tried IE7, Firefox, and Opera, but they all say something like "Address Not Found", or something like that.

I've checked Comodo Firewall Pro and disabled it, but none of the tests I have done worked.

I would love any help (this one has me stumped).

Thanks!!

P.S.  Please help
P.P.S Really will like help.........................

Oops...I should have been more clear.  I can't to any website, so not just Hotmail.  But, I know I have a internet connection because I can Send/Receive emails.

Could be a DNS problem.  Try pinging by IP address like from Google's website:
Start > run > type cmd > ping google.com

Then try again by typing ping 72.14.207.99.  If you receive replies on the second ping attempt, then it's a DNS problem.  You would need to contact your ISP.

I did that before, and it still didn't work.  (I tried it again, and still it's messed up.)

err maybe you have the "work offline" ticked Huh (file/workoffline)


And I wasn't working offline.
So, who is stumped?  I am for one.

Try Safe Mode with Networking under a different account (e.g. Administrator).  That should narrow down the problem of security programs causing the problem or possible profile corruption.

Okay, let's cover the basics: what changes to the PC have you noticed just before the problem?

A winsock reset should reset most of the networking settings back to the defaults:
start > run > netsh winsock reset > reboot
