[Rob Bresnik Mobile PC DR.]

i am running window xp. i couldn't connect to the internet, but i could
ping a website in the cmd module. page would not be displayed in ie and
other programs wouldn't connect (e.g. aol instant messenger). i tried three
different network cards and did the netsh tcp restore. still, nothing. i
repaired the windows installation, but it took me back to pre-SP2 condition.
now my computer would connect fine...when i reinstalled sp2, it would
prevent me from going online again. i uninstalled sp2 and i was ok. this
all just started happening...i was fine with sp2 up until a few days ago.
what's going on?

It depends what has changed in the meantime. If you are speaking of secure
sites, respectively, this is common behavior from having Norton installed.
Good luck either way!
