491535 2006-10-15 02:02:00 Son is having problems with computer which connects ok to the interent but once connected he can't load homepage or any other page. Time out error keeps occurring no matter what page is attempting to open. He is with xtra. A call to their help desk says there are no know issues with the network. Any ideas please? smurf (6545)
491536 2006-10-15 02:15:00 Most often because of Winsock damage. You can read about it here and also download the LSPfix that coorects that particular program.

If not, then post back as there are a couple of other causes.

491537 2006-10-15 02:16:00 Is Symantec internet security or zonealarm installed?

If either are installed, BOTH can stop one of their services, which will give u the symptoms you've posted.

491539 2006-10-15 02:18:00 Not to mention malware infestations could be the cause too. pctek (84)
491540 2006-10-15 02:31:00 Also could be DNS issues as Xtra DNS servers are know to not to be the best. stu161204 (123)
