Hello.
If someone could help on this i'll be very thankful.

On a windows2000pro machine, after making an upgrade from mcafee antivirus
(6.x to 7), the internet explorer stop working. I can ping a site by its IP
number from the command line, but i can't open it in IE. The DNS doesn't
work, either. First, i removed all the mcafee softwaere. Then I've
reinstalled IE (same thing).Then i installed other browser (same thing). I
reinstalled the network card and the tcpip protocol.
In the end, i reinstalled the whole win2000, all remains the same.
So, the only thing that works is ping. No telnet, ftp, etc to the exterior.
I didn't want (i can't!!) reinstall all from zero.

If you could help (what's wrong with my windows) , i'll appreciate.

TIA,
Albuquerque
 
Do you have any personal firewall etc on the system? There isn't much that
can make a system behave this way. Any other info would be helpful.
