talksport Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 A) Login to the windows as another user and try again B) Uninstall 2 browsers.... If windows, use Internet Explorer uninstall / reinstall or upgrade to latest version. C) Also did you restart your machine and tried :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apocalypse Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I think port 80 is blocked in your case. Are you using any zonealarm kind of firewall software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apocalypse Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 okay maybe some existing application was doing it. Next time if this happens you can do this Go to Start>Connect to... and choose your network connection. Click Properties. Select Internet Protocol TCP/IP and click Properties. Click Advanced. Click the Options tab. Make sure TCP/IP Filtering is selected, then click Properties. See if the filtering option is checked, and what ports are listed. Make sure port 80 is not blocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Firewall issues can it be Rajeev? It does rule out firewall issue if you were able to remote desktop from work and then use the browser from home pc to browse internet fine. I won't be surprised if it's firewall blocking access. Everytime the firewall software is updated it will reset the access to some of the software but I can't quite understand why only browsers?

dial_100 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Often your updates for Virus scan software mess up with these things. Always remember to reboot when it ask you to. If you forget and then two different types of updates are installed, say a Virus software update and Windows update, expect some applications not to work in every 3-4 months or so. It happens with me some times... No biggie..glad its working now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
