For a while now, I've been unable to connect to many space related
sites. In particular:
www.hubblesite.org, *.nasa.gov
Here's what I know. Neither IE6, nor firefox, nor Opera can connect.
But browsing to the whole rest of the web is normal. Including
antivirus sites. HOSTS file normal. But cannot ping, nor tracert.
I CAN boot to a SUSE live DVD and browse said sites normally. So
problem is not hardware, or ISP related. It's definitely windows.
Virus/spyware scan turns up nothing (Nortan, AVG, Ad-aware)
It's not a firewall issue. Disabling firewall does not resolve issue.
IDEAS? I'm going to nuke it next week if i can't turn up anything.
XP pro, sp2.
