| 242162 | 2004-06-07 03:08:00 | I have been switch this modem backwards and forwards from my laptop to my station, so its not DNS server overload. | robert_m_r_w (3943) | ||
| 242163 | 2004-06-07 03:32:00 | Try this. Step 1: Delete registry keys * Open the Registry Editor from the run line. Start --> Run --> regedit --> ok * Navigate to both of the following keys and then delete the key (folder): * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Winsock2 * Restart the computer NB: It is important to restart the computer after deleting the Winsock keys. Doing so causes the XP operating system to recreate shell entries for those two keys. If this is not done, the next step does not work correctly. Step 2: Install TCP/IP over top of the existing installation * Open the properties window of the network connection. Start --> Connect To --> Show All Connections --> Right-click the Connectoid --> Click Properties --> Select the Networking Tab * Click Install * Click Protocol * Click Add * Click Have Disk * Type the path to the nettcpip.inf file and click OK. This should either be: c:\windows\inf or c:\winnt\inf (if you click browse, then attempt to browse to the \inf folder, it may not show up in the list as it is a hidden directory) * You should now see "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" in the list of available protocols. Select it and click OK. * Restart the computer |

| 242165 | 2004-06-07 04:42:00 | Have you checked your firewall configuration and lowered the security settings. What happens when you type the site IP address into IE address bar instead of the URL eg. Google - 216.239.57.99 Yahoo - 66.94.230.37 |
