Few days ago, my IE 6.0 and firefox suddenly failed to go to any website
including yahoo and etc ... It showed "cannot find the webpage". I am
connecting to Internet through broadband at home and I figure out the
connection is still through and I still can ping to the website. But IE or
firefox cannot go anywhere. Can anyone please tell me if this is a virus or
network card problem or something else? Thanks.

Most likely your system has been hijacked and is probably being used to
launder funds for the Russian mafia. The Rooskies are very computer savvy.
You should freeze all your accounts posthaste. This should be done not only
to protect your funds but also to ensure you are not implicated in any
international plots. Life in federal prison can be very lonely unless you
get adopted by a greasy stinking russian mobster.

He's a troll, and a stupid one at that. He started today posting to a
variety of posts, with absurdities. Sorry I don't have an answer for you.

If you have a cable modem you might want to unplug it for a couple of
minutes and then replug and let the modem reboot. First power your machine
down.

Also, you might want to try to access a web site using the IP address rather
than the URL. This will determine if it is a DNS issue.

Actually, I tried to use ip in IE but still doesn't work. And I tried to run
netsh winsock reset command. Things are getting worse. I cannot even connect
to the ISP. The error message is 619... One thing I am not sure if it is
related, the firewall is turned off automatically sometime when I reboot
winxp. It is weird. Please help. Thanks.

In fact, I used another computer with the same line and it works. I brought
my computer to a computer expert. My computer can connect with his line. I
totally lost. Please help. Thanks.

A few ideas:

Are you running any proxies?

Have you tried a clean boot?

Have you scanned for malware or run HijackThis?

Who is your ISP, and have you contacted them regarding settings?

Do you have problems with other areas of the Internet besides the Web?

Are you sure your connections are secure?

Which firewall do you use?

Do you also have a hardware firewall in your modem/router?

Have you tried a System Restore back to a time before this problem?

Do you recall anything in particular you may have done before this
problem arose?

Have you tried LSP-fix?

You are not alone. All of the suggestions are well intentioned , but usless.
Masterfull guesses, but in reality they haven't a clue.
So far I have been able to restart and clear up the problem. Sometimes the
IE6 diagnostic menu choice disappears so I cannot run it, however once it
tried to tell me that it had something to do with the firewall. As long as
the famous "OK, when all else fails, reboot!" works I'll use that method
until someone figures out what's wrong and posts it here. If you had a car
failed this often what would you do? Microsoft will not admit that they have
losey software. They just blame it on hackers and other software programmers
or viruses.

I was just able to capture the following with the diagnodstic tool which was
available this time. It says the following:
HTTP, HTTPS, FTP connectivity

info HTTPS: Successfully connected to www.microsoft.com.
info FTP (Active): Successfully connected to ftp.microsoft.com.
warn HTTP: Error 12002 connecting to www.microsoft.com: The operation
timed out
warn HTTP: Error 12002 connecting to www.hotmail.com: The operation
timed out
error Could not make an HTTP connection.

Can someone make sense out of this? What is causing the software to do this?

= Then Open a run command and type in these DLLs to re-register them:
regsvr32 SOFTPUB.DLL
regsvr32 Wintrust.dll
regsvr32 Mssip32.dll
regsvr32 Initpki.dll
regsvr32 Msjava.dll
regsvr32 Gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 Sccbase.dll
regsvr32 Slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 Urlmon.dll
regsvr32 Cryptdlg.dll
regsvr32 Dssenh.dll

------------------------------------------
Remove all other References other than those above.
You can also try to assign the web address in the trusted zone on the IE
properties.

=> Before we go further are you connecting by Router or Modem, in either try
to
Power or unplug the Power cord for the Router/Modem for about 40 seconds or
so be generous with it <g> turn the computer OFF and wait for the time to go
by!!.
Then Turn the Router/Modem ON and wait a minute or so then Power ON the
computer and try to establish a connection and try the link, does it work?.

If still then continue the heavy work:
Open windows Explorer and locate the Hosts file and Rename it to Hosts.OLD
Reboot the machine and try, does it work.

If not try this:
search for them by this name *index.dat* and you can delete them
then the on reboot the system will recreate them for you.
Some of them here:
C:\Documents and settings\Administrator\Cookies = index
