HTTP: Error 12031

[Malcolm H]

Windows XP computer working fine for years until Windows updates yesterday.
Now cannot access web with IE7 or Firefox, Mail works OK.

Network Diagnostics for Windows XP return the following:

"HTTP: Error 12031 connecting to www.microsoft.com: The connection with the
Server was reset."

Further message in diagnostics stated problem probably caused by firewall
settings. I turned off firewall but problem remains

Ideas anyone??

Error 12303 The connection with the Server was reset could be connection
issue or firewall issue. Have you reset winsock? WE had a post before and
you can find here: Can't access Internet with error 12030 and 12031
