Hi, i have a laptop with Windows XP OS and service pack 2. For some reason, I
cannot connect to the internet using web browser on default port 80. I have
tried both IE and Firefox and none of them work. Surprisingly I can access
secure websites using https. so, http://<website> does not open and give page
not found error message but https://<website> works and web page is
displayed. The issue does not come if connected in safemode with networking.
All other applications Windows messanger, outlook etc. can connect to the
internet.
I have followed instructions on KB article How to determine and recover from
Winsock2 corruption (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259). Tried nesh
winsock reset command. but none of them have fixed the issue.
Is there any way I can fix this error without re-installing the OS.
