| 283507 | 2004-10-22 06:29:00 | Has anyone experienced this type of problem with XP Home? I can dial up and connect to the Internet, although no pages can be viewed with “The page cannot be displayed” error. Have virus scanned and run ad-aware, also ad-aware will not update when connected? Have checked all settings with Internet options set to always dial my default connection ticked. I then updated to SP2, still no go? Thanks of any help on this, Jon |

| 283511 | 2004-10-22 08:17:00 | Hi thanks for quick response, I cannot do a system restore as it is turned off, although could reload XP overtop which I will try if nothing else works first. Work offline is not ticked, and I shut down the only other firewall, apart from the XP one, called zone alarm, and still no go? Jon |

| 283512 | 2004-10-22 10:37:00 | if using dailup before you do that over install try this unplug all telephonic devices except your pc make a dailup connection try browsing if successful repeat and each time plug in a another device until your Internet connection faults, when it faults unplug all other devices except the last one plugged in and retest, if the fault persists chances are that are that device is faulty and maybe causing line noise. Telephonic devices includes double phone jack adpators, extension cables, answer machines and Sky TV decoders as well if connected to a telephone outlet. A colleague had the same fault, e-mail and ftp all worked fine, only http "get" and "put' requests were affected (get- http request for a web page, "put"- web page delivered to browsing client, not an exact definition) and through some fault checking it turned out to be a faulty phone in a bedroom causing line noise. |

(make sure you back up you important files) HTH |

| 283514 | 2004-10-25 09:33:00 | My guess is that your Winsock is corrupted. There are 2 files in c:\windows\system32\ These are "wsock.dll" (size 22,528) & "winsock.dll" (size2864) If the sizes of your files differ from the above, they are corrupt. You will find a spare "wsock32.dll" in c:\windows\service pack files\i386\ but there is no spare "winsock.dll" You can also copy these files from another computer or extract them from the "i386" folder on your installation CD. Winrar will extract them. Paste into c:\windows\system32. IMPORTANT: Before you do this run "AdawareSE" & "Spybot13" to kill the mother-ship :) |
