267799 2004-09-01 05:00:00 I have an issue where I am able to surf the net fine and see web pages, but no other application is able to see the internet. which means nothign is updating, or syncrinizing.

The Pc is running windows 2000.

Anyone seen this or fixed it, or have any ideas?

267800 2004-09-01 05:04:00 have you got a program like zone alarm or other firewall running that is blocking the programs to access the internet? ilikelinux (1418)
267801 2004-09-01 05:49:00 It'd be helpful if you stated what operating system (XP etc) you're using, what ISP, an example of an app that is not "seeing" the Internet, and any other generally useful info that may help us diagnose the issue Greg S (201)

At a guess, I'd say it's Windows 2000 :D

THe PC is on anetworked cable internet connection. But the conneciton is fine, becauee IE is still working. Yet no other program on the computer can see the internet, including office apps (word etc) frontpage, outlook express

267804 2004-09-13 00:07:00 Make sure Internet Explorer settings are set to Never Dial a connection and under the LAN settings button make sure nothing is ticked.
Then open Internet Explorer and goto the File menu and make sure Work Offline is not ticked.
