| 565685 | 2007-07-04 10:40:00 | I have two computers with seemingly identical settings in all respects. One of them dials-up and connects quite happily, allowing access to internet and email. The other one dials up and connects, but then nothing else. It shows the number of bytes sent as 276 and the number received as 225. Those two numbers never change. I suspect something really simple needs changing, but I can't find it. Can someone help? |

I would say that the second PC is not able to go to any sites. iansmcdonald: Checked the firewall settings? |

| 565688 | 2007-07-05 09:27:00 | The computer that stalls won't browse. IE just says "cannot find page". Just to add some more information, there are 3 computers (including the 'stalling' one which I'll call #1) on a home network. All 3 can happily 'see' each other and transfer and open files between them. One of them (#2) is acting as a webserver. #3 can browse to the files served by #2, but #1 has the same "cannot find page" error. I have checked firewall settings and am satisfied that's not the problem. Could it be a hardware fault? My gut feeling is that it's something very simple... |
