| 288800 | 2004-11-07 02:58:00 | it has got a firewall but its turned off. | robsonde (120) | ||
| 288801 | 2004-11-07 03:00:00 | What DNS servers are you using? Try setting 202.2.184.5 as one and see if it pings :-) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 288802 | 2004-11-07 03:03:00 | I fail to see what is broken? or is that, you cannot get to websites, because the DNS isn't there? Doesnt when you dial in the ISP give the computer the DNS's to use? Or am i barking up the wrong tree |

I've seen plenty of firewalls leave their hooks in both when disabled, and even after they've been uninstalled. What version of Windows? I'd try uninstalling the firewall completely, then: If it's WXP, try going to a command prompt (Start --> Run --> cmd --> OK) And type in "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the " Hit enter, reboot, try that. |

Or am i barking up the wrong tree They give you the servers to use for it, that doesn't mean the processes which query those services are able to talk to them. |
