I have a machine on a smallish network (around 15pcs). Only one of the pcs
on the network is having this problem. When you try and access certain
websites it fails. One inparticular is www.lloydstsb.co.uk, DNS resolves
without problem, and tracert returns the same details as for a machine that
can see the site. From any other machine there is no problem. This machine
has internet explorer 7 installed. I have tried the following so far.
1) Installed Firefox - No difference
2) Checked hosts file - only one copy and only one entry (localhost)
3) Cleared all the caches etc - no difference
4) Reset tcpip stacks - no difference
5) Checked MTU - no difference

Im sure ive tried other things as well, but nothing makes any difference.
Done various searches on google, most just mention either MTU or hosts file.

Any further ideas would be great.

Adrian,

open http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm in Internet Explorer and fill
in the form.

Probably winsock corruption by adware or spyware. Resetting the
winsock can solve it. The web page explains how.

Thanks for your reply, ive gone through there with no success. Ive tried
resetting the winsock before, just tried again, but no change.

Thanks

Adrian,

this is a very rare case. http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm
practically always solves these problems.

Please copy the "Selections:" line above the three buttons at
the end of the form and post it here.
