Recurring problem in that I cannot make it happen, and it happens
sporadically while browing. I will click on a link, and all of a sudden, it
will sit for a while with eventually showing the "page cannot be displayed"
text. When this happens, my Outlook (MS Outlook from Office XP), will not
be able to download email, and you get "server cannot be found" error in the
Outlook comm box. HOWEVER, I can drop to a command window and ping yahoo,
and my primary DNS successfully. I am using wireless internet through a
Linksys wireless G router, and this only occurs on the one pc (other pc's on
the workgroup, have no problems) and it is only IE6 and Outlook
communications that shut down. The pc can still browse to the other
computers in the workgroup. I have tried:
1. Ipconfig /release and /renew - no change
2. No viruses, and run anti-spyware, etc.
3. have tried uninstalling the network adapter and reinstalling it.... have
tried "repair" - still happens
4. have tried deleting cookies, files, objects from Internet options, have
reset security to medium and all defaults - still happens.
I have run netstat -no and there are no outbounds.... Also have run netdiag
for testing the winsock and it shows no errors.
One thing I need to find out about is the winsock protocols listed in
msinfo32. From the tech papers I have read, there should be a minimum of
10. I have only 4, I have: MSAFD Tcpip TCP/IP, MSAFD Tcpip UDP/IP, RSVP
UDP Service Provider, and RSVP TCP Service Provider. I do not have any of
the MSAFD NetBIOS ones listed. I have run the netsh winsock reset command
and it made no change. Is this the cause of IE6 and Outlook being unable to
connect? I find this very confusing because I can ping successfully through
the command window when this happens.... The problem happens after being on
the net for a while, sometimes days apart. The only thing that works is a
total power down and restart. And what I find interesting is that when I do
this, my homepage is msn.com. The msn.com comes up with just text on
colored backgroun, but after hitting refresh it comes up with pictures and
stuff as it should.
Any advice is most appreciated...
