This is after installing SP2 with no errors noticed:
Random internet browsing and game based connectivity
loss. Happens after letting computer sit for more than 10
minutes (time it takes default XP screen saver to
activate). No programs will connect to the internet
after this happens and will continue to be unavailabe
until cold boot is performed. Restart does not fix the
issue. Checked router setting and other computers on the
network w/ out SP2 and they work fine during this issue.
Can ping websites through command prompt and I get the
proper IP identification as well as name resolution. I
get the ping response as well.
Have both IE6 and Mozilla loaded as well as some internet
based games. None can connect to the internet eventhough
approval for them was given when firewall was working,
prior to timeout. Prior to timeout the programs connect
and work perfectly. After 3 "lockouts" no amount of
rebooting or shutting down seemed to fix the issue.
Finally had to uninstall SP2 to reconnect to the
internet. I am now browsing on machine in question
perfectly. I have tried installing 4 times with same
issues. Twice w/ norton antivirus installed and twice w/
it removed. No other firewall or security software is
installed. Last thing...disabling firewall and/or
manually entering port 80 into exception list did not fix
allow me to regain connectivity. Again during the entire
connectivity issue I was able to ping. Also during
connectivity issue I was not able to connect to my
router's web based interface but was able to ping it with
no issues.
To summarize:
It seems all ports except pinging seem to get locked down
with no way of opening them after 3 "random lockouts" on
my system.
Please advise on more advanced steps to troubleshoot or
technical specs that are needed to help resolve this
issue.
