258573	2004-08-05 20:49:00	Hi all I have some issues, I'm sure that it is not the first time someone has posted this question but I cant find it using search. I can connect through my ISP fine, The connection is not a problem, However regardless of whether im using IE6 or Firefox i get page cannot be found error as soon as I open ether of them, I mean it doesn’t even look like it bothers to search. So i opened a command line Pinged the site (In this case google.co.nz) Got a response. I then used telnet - open www.google.co.nz 80 The connection failed. Have a got a Port 80 conflict? Is something blocking my port? how do I resolve this? This is currently causing me a whole lot of grief so any help here would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance	Jedi2002 (5973)

Someone mentioned it may be a DNS name resolving issue . I will have a look at that tonight .	Jedi2002 (5973)

That is correct but lots of people use third-party firewalls rather than rely on the Windows one. If that is all you have it would pay to turn it back on pretty smartly. ;-) Are you using a stand-alone computer? By that I mean is it not on a network? How long have you had the problem? When did it start? Can't offer any more help, sorry, but others may be able to.	Susan B (19)

258579	2004-08-08 19:33:00	Hi all Wow overwhelmed with all your help thanks heaps. I went home on the weekend and tried the below 1. Tried to Ping another site i haven't got Cached which failed (www.nzcfa.co.nz) which lead me to belive it was DNS However - 2. Did an ipconfig /all and found my DNS servers IP did line up with my ISP's DNS server address Please excuse my ignorance but how do i reinstall Winsoc stuff and Lsp and run a repair on IE?

Are you running a 3rd party firewall? ZoneAlarm? Norton Internet Security? When ping failed what happened? Did it resolve to an IP address then come up request timed out, or could it not resolve the host. Can you get e-mail in and out, or instant messaging and the like (other traffic)?	whiskeytangofoxtrot (438)
258581	2004-08-09 00:00:00	Hi Answers to the questions - Are you running a 3rd party firewall? ZoneAlarm? Norton Internet Security? - No to all When ping failed what happened? If i ping an IP address such as my ISP's gateway it replies without a problem . However if i try and ping a webpage name It didnt resolve an IP address at all and timed out Can you get e-mail in and out, or instant messaging and the like (other traffic)? - I use a hotmail account and Dont use instant messaging . Thanks	Jedi2002 (5973)
258582	2004-08-09 00:45:00	sound a bit like your ISp is blocking you..... have you paid the bill?? my pay to ring the ISP and ask them if there is a problem at there end of things, they can talk you through what ever needs doing to fix it.	robsonde (120)
