Not able to access internet via Firefox or IE but have a network connectionI'm not able to access the internet using firefox or IE but i do have a
network connection as this is being typed via RDP and a VPN into my work computer and I can ping the router and also external ip addresses. Its not a problem with the router as another machine on the network is working fine I'm not even able to bring up the router web page on 192.168.1.1. The only change I've made recently to the machine was to install a blue tooth usb stick but it was working after it was installed. This has me stumped at the moment so any help would be appreciated cheers renton wrote:

If the VPN itself isn't the problem, check for a firewall that was bundled with the VPN. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html Did the problem start when you installed the VPN? Or how long have you been seeing the problem? And how long have you had the computer, in general? <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/06/background-information-useful-in.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck mvps org. ie and firefox have been working fine for about 2 months since i first
put the pc together ( its the x64 version of xp) and the problem not being able to access the web started this afternoon.

I'm betting that they added some access policies, to keep the work network secure. If you can't get any help there, try checking the LSP / Winsock for corruption. If you do, though, make sure that you know ho to reload the VPN, as I can't guarantee what the LSP tools will do to a VPN client. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.

often due to LSP problems, as mentioned. A favourite culprit is Google Desktop Search. On Fri, 24 Nov 2006 15:40:01 -0800, Ian <I**@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

etc. Also check any other security programs you might have running. Some security programs like MicroTrend DO NOT disable thw Windows firewall but add another firewalll on top of everything. If this is the case, disable Windows Firewall AND Security Center in services.
