HELP!!! I can ping websites, but can't use IE or netscape to get to them!

[Fuzzmuncher]

What else can I do?

 

[rudeguy]

you running a firewall? if not..what changes have you made since it worked last?

 

[Evadman]

Maybe you should ask in Tech or Networking?

 

[AntaresVI]

DNS server down?

 

[Fuzzmuncher]

DNS works - it resolves the name into an IP address.

Haven't changed anything & my other laptop works fine, so the connection is good.

No Firewall.

A longshot, but do you have proxies enabled in the configuration menu?

 

[crumpet19]

and yet you're still on ATOT

Yep the guy has access to ONE and only ONE internet connected computer.

That's what I was thinking.

Control Panel -> Internet Options

Choose the "Connections" tab.

Click LAN Settings.

Make sure you don't have a proxy configured in there, or make sure the proxy is configured correctly.

Agreed. This is the wrong forum. Go to the tech support or networking forums.

ping uses ICMP
http uses TCP

try reinstalling your TCP/IP software

hate to be rude-

I've been in the same situation before and the networking forum was a little slow (couple days) in helping me out. OT is not the correct place for this, but I understand why munchie did it.

Just my .02

Restart your computer. (hey...its windows)

Run the internet connection wizard. Start -> Run -> ICWCONN1. (that'll fix proxy/basic config for IE)

Make sure there isn't a proxy.

Can you BROWSE by IP?

R/R TCP/IP.. make sure the TCP/IP stack is configured properly.
