Win XP Pro: pc will not goto any outbound traffic port 80

I can't figure it out. I ran winsock fix. I ran netsh int ip reset. I can ping the domain names.. but then port 80 will not work. Secured sites work fine since running on port 443.

Any ideas here?

I plugged it into another network with same results.

Thanks in advance!
 
Was there some malware on it, that you knew of? While we're at it, what Service Pack level is WindowsXP Pro at (0, 1 or 2)? The networks you're connecting it to without any firewall enabled... are these networks guaranteed sterile, or are they jungles?
 
xp sp2 - no spyware after scans. no virus after scans. network is clear - ethereal scans seemed ok. Also all the other 30 pcs on the same segment were OK. I just formated it because I needed it up and running quickly.

But I would like to know what can be done in the future to fix this type of thing.

thanks
 
Here's a Microsoft knowledge-base article that might've helped: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259/ Cliffs: delete a couple Registy keys, reboot, uninstall the TCP/IP protocol, snack break, reinstall TCP/IP protocol, ??, profit. Or for XP with SP2, they've got a command to save you trouble.

Bigger picture: with a compromised box, nuking it probably was for the best anyway. 😀
