Got Wi-fi can download and send email (even with large attachments), can also access internet via ftp client Cannot access skype Cannot access internet (http, https or ftp) via internet explorer 7 or Firefox. Any one any ideas as it is driving me mad. My other laptop can connect to internet fine via the same wifi system Cheers Owen
RE: Switch off your firewall and have a quick go nt Tried that, tried reinstalling internet explorer, tried rolling back to previous restore point (will not let me) tried using firefox (new install) All this happened since I got the updates sent from microsoft on tueday. Had our IT guy at work scratching his head as well
RE: I'd say ... I was going to say try uninstalling it (i've seen it happen with zone alarm) and then re-install and it tends to do the trick when switching it off and on doesn't. Remember you'll be unsecure without it though so make sure you have a download/disk ready for if it doesn't work. Other than that, just check the DNS settings .... try going to 212.58.227.79. This should load the BBC site and will prove if it is DNS or not.
RE: I'd say ... DNS is okay, I will go for the uninstall and re-install approach, gut feeling is always pointing at firewall
Had same on one this week Was windows that was screwed. did all your doing but only worked after a reinstall or in this case a return to factory settings.
