Strange thing just started to happen as IE will only go to the bank of
america site. I can move all around the site and even log off the site but IE
will not load any other sites. Any help would be welcome
 
Hello. I seem to be having some extrange IE behaviors as well. Upon boot up,
I can open IE and browse the internet. After a while, I am unable to use IE
to browse the internet. It would seem that there is not internet connection.
I can then open CMD and ping web sites. I thought it was an IE problem so I
downloaded Opera and firefox. Both of the programs experecience same
behavior. Use hijack tool, MS ANtispyware and other adware removal tools to
do scan and nothing came up. Running latest McAfee definition files and
latest OS patches for Windows XP SP2. Conducted full system scan with McAfee
and nothing came up. Looked at start up programs and there is nothing out of
the ordinary there. Any suggestions? By the way, I use Window Washer to
regularly clear my browser cache, etc. When the behavior accurs I am still
able to open Outlook and bring down email or use a FTP program to upload
files to my personal web site.

When the behavior occurs , I am not even able to access my router via the
normal 192.168.x.x web address. Again, pinging is not a problem. There is
internet connectivity. I could use my work laptop, and I am able to browse. I
have checked it with a laptop and my son's PC. All running same Win Xp SP2
with latest packages, etc. They do not experience the same behavior.

Your assiatnce is apperciated.
 
Hi,
Open a command window (Start> Run> CMD) Enter
ipconfig /flushdns
(Note the space in "ipconfig[space] /flushdns"
Then clear the Temporary Internet Files and restart.

If running a cable modem, dsl modem or router, have you, at some point, shut
everything down for a few minutes? This sometimes helps.

Or, deleting the History and TIF folders may help:

Disable (for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers,
security, toolbars and other add-ons for IE, anti-virus, internet security,
etc. Take a look at
any program that might be interfering with IE. You may have to reconfigure,
reinstall, or not reinstall, a program. Turn on the Windows Firewall (from
Control Panel or Security Center) before disabling a third-party firewall.

I have seen that symptom with Microsoft .aspx sites when I'm tracing
through a proxy server. Is a proxy server involved at all?
The fix is usually to realize that I am still tracing and shut it down.
Then everything goes back to normal again.
