hmmm, got a problem

[Meggie]

my desktop computer wont let me connect through to the internet using IE or yahoo or aim. But x fire connects.

Whats wrong with it?!

my laptop connects to the net just fine using the same router/modem.


before u ask:
running windows xp
yes i tried restarting
ive run every virus/spyware scanner i have (spybot, adaware, avg, nod32)

[brembo]

go to run
type "command"
then type "ipconfig/release"
then tyoe "inconfig/renew"
sans the " " of course

sometimes IE and pals will just get confused and that smacks em upside the head

if that does not work try doing a tracert for example:

open DOS prompt:

type tracert http://www.speedguide.net

see how far it gets and where it stops..it actually sounds like a possible DNS issue, or a firewall block somehow if the IP command above does not work

New firewwall or have you been messing with the settings of the firewall?

Start>Run>CMD

netsh winsock rebuild

Let it run then reboot, and you should be good to go again.

Try posting in the proper forum, that might be a good place to start

Does a more complete TCP stack/winsock repair.
