| 380447 | 2005-08-12 04:11:00 | I've got a problem with my win98 PC where I can't display any pages in IE or Firefox.I have dsl and this PC is directly connected to my D Link 604 router.I can ping the router,and anything else I have the IP address to,but I can't get into the router or any other site.I have 2 other PC's connected,1 wireless,1 cable,both work fine.I have disabled the firewall and anti-virus,and have no other programs running.I have uninstalled and reinstalled my NIC and its drivers,and set up a static IP in my PC and assigned DNS settings but to no avail.If I can ping my router how come I can't get into it?.I have released and renewed my IP address and can pick up an address from my router no problem,but I still cannot get into it.Any ideas?

But you said you set the DNS staticly. Did you set it to an outside DNS server, or to your router's IP address? Can you ping www.google.com? or 64.233.187.99? (google's IP address) If I can ping my router how come I can't get into it?.I have released and renewed my IP address and can pick up an address from my router no problem,but I still cannot get into it.Any ideas?The only other thing I can think of, but I'm streching here, is the possibility that IE is looking for a proxy server You can check to see if it is under tools->internet options->connections->lan settings sometimes you have to go into the "advanced" section under lan settings as well. Oh.. one final though.. I think I saw something like this onces a long time ago when someone's software firewall screwed up. Essentially it firewalled off the whole PC even when the firewall was uninstalled, we had to re-install/uninstall to fix it. -Qyiet |

| 380449 | 2005-08-12 04:31:00 | What was the firewall you disabled? Nortons internet security or other?? If Nortons, one of Nortons services, has, or had a habit of disabling itself. |

| 380450 | 2005-08-13 09:13:00 | hI guys,thanks for the replys,but I've got it sorted.I went back and checked for anything that the kids may have downloaded,and found a program called Newdotnet,and in the folder there was an uninstall file.I ran that,not really knowing what it was,but as it finished,it came up with a box saying"new dot net will now reconfigure your network settings".It then closed,and being a little suspicious,I opened IE,and lo and behold,I could surf.I don't know what it did or what it was but that was the problem,so look out for it.Thanks for the suggestions anyway.
