Can you ping a public IP like 4.2.2.1? If yes, can you ping yahoo.com? Post back with the result of ipconfig /all.

I was having this problem on my new PC which came preinstalled with
Vista, where although everything previously worked and I still had
internet connectivity, as shown by my still being able to refresh my
DHCP information, change my DNS settings, and ping my router, suddenly
DNS stopped resolving, not internet connections succeeded, and trying
to bring a a browser window resulted in the popup:

*www.microsoft.com is not set up to establish a connection on
port "World Wide Web service (HTTP)" with this computer.*

Well, I finally figured out the problem. I had recently installed
Kapersky AntiVirus. Kapersky wasn't the problem though. The problem
was that the the Dell computer came preinstalled with Norton Internet
Security, and that program was causing conflicts. I removed it through
Programs and Features on the Control Panel, and the problem went away.

I hopes this information helps someone else suffering with this
problem, as right now there is nothing else on Google out there with a
solution.

I'm still getting a lot of blue screens though, with symscan.exe.
Probably just more unstable crapware from Symantec that Dell
pre-installed. Hopefully, I'll figure it out before too long.

Thanks, Subversive, for your reply. It was the hint I needed. A
friend's Dell laptop had a similar problem. In his case, the problem
turned out to be that the firewall in PC-cillin was blocking all
incoming traffic to IE. Firefox worked OK. Turning the firewall off or
modifying PC-cillin to allow incoming traffic to IE fixed the problem
immediately.

Okay, I've had a lot of people ask this very same question and thought
that it had been answered. If you have NORTON anything on a brand new
system or old, and you can not get to the internet.

follow this link and download.
ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/englis...moval_Tool.exe

It is the actual removal program for Norton products. This should solve
majority of the internet connection problems, that everyone is posting
about.

Hope this helps everyone out.
