Vista network problem
We have a Dell with Vista running on it. we connected it to the university
network and are not able to get any browser to find any web site. I open a command line and do a ping both with ip address numbers and via name and ping works fine so there is network connectivity and name server access. I can't find any answer to why the browser will not work. I have tried the microsoft browser and mozilla neither will work. Does any one have any ideas? I am a nubie to Vista. but pretty well versed in 2000 and XP. Thanks, Matt

This will cause the old " ... cannot find web site ..." and similar symptoms. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/06/determining-mtu-to-single-server.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2007/0...le-server.html And it's always possible that LSP / Winsock corruption is involved. http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.html http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/0...-layer-in.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP 2005-2007 [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
