759073 2009-03-25 00:04:00 DISABLE TCP/IP V6.

Seen this to many times to remember - most of the time the sites will work after that.

Read This article (www.mydigitallife.info), tells you how.

759074 2009-03-25 00:06:00 OP stated the O/S was XP, not Vista!....unsure if OP is behind a proxy or if using BB at home.... SolMiester (139)
759075 2009-03-25 00:09:00 Umm looks like the DNS servers were set to Xtra's (she's on Xnet). Altho it may not matter. BUT, I got her (via PM), to change the primary DNS to her router, and the alternate to one of Xnet's DNS server ips

To see if it makes things any better. She's using a Dlink G640T (the same modem / router I'm using here)

OOPS, only quickly read the remainder of the posts, was till later it was mentioned XP - the first post said " New laptop" Most come with Vista these days :blush:

OK check this if speedys suggestion doesn't work - control Panel, Internet Options / Security Tab / make sure the security is set to medium /high - if not reset to defaults.

759077 2009-03-25 00:29:00 Thanks all for your feedback.

Well, yes, running XP at home on Xnet BB.

Tried resetting the DNS settings so they correspond with Xnet settings etc. I was unsure what to put in as a static IP Address though. After this was done, I couldn't get any webpages to load. Also checked security settings and yes, they are on medium.

Out of interest, I am able to revert back to an xtra broadband account, should I just change the settings for my router?

759078 2009-03-25 00:33:00 So youre with Xnet and Xtra??

You would have to change the username and password in the router, if you use / switch between Xtra and Xnet

For the ip just put in a valid ip address (between 10.1.1.3 - 10.1.1.254), I think it is

759079 2009-03-25 01:38:00 If you are using ADSL all you need to do is set up your user account details in the modem/router, (for the appropriate ISP) then set the PC, on the LAN connection, or wireless connection to obtain An IP address automatically. The router/modem does the rest. wainuitech (129)

Yep, thats what I usually do.

Easy and no fuss
