IE Does not connect to any site.

[Arun]

I have Windows XP running on IBM TP t30 model, with SP1 and IE 6.0.
Recently I am not able to connect to any site using IE, my other browsers(
Netscape 7.x) works fine on this system, but IE does not connect with same
proxy servers.

IE Version is :
IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.20828-1920CO
Q810847,Q813951,Q832894,Q837009,Q831167,Q823353,Q867801


I have tried many options including KB318378 (
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378). But no luck, again Outlook
is working fine on my machine & loading local html files work fine in IE.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance & Regards
Arun

That suggests that the proxy servers are blocking IE, perhaps via
User-Agent. Contact the servers' administrators and ask. There
may even be diagnostics they can do for you to at least verify that
IE's requests are being transmitted. Otherwise, take a packet trace
and confirm that for yourself.

I don't think that this shows that you have SP1.
It looks like XP plus some security patches for base level IE6.
Such patches could appear as preSp1 level maintenance.
Similarly if you had SP1 you would see preSp2 patches.

Frank,


Yes, I realize that but there is something peculiar about the information
being presented. Maybe we are just arguing about whether it is XPsp1
or not.

I had to wait to boot my XPsp1 partition to confirm my recollections.
Here is what I was thinking of:

<example XPsp1 Help About>
Version: 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.040919-1003
Update Versions:;SP1;Q...
</example XPsp1 Help About>

I suspect that if the other was really XPsp1 those patches (especially the last one)
would have the same effect on its version (i.e. replace the xpsp1 substring
with the preSP2 indication.) It might be interesting to get some info on
the last part of the version string too. E.g. what is the difference between
040919-1003 and 20828-1920? (only 5 digits?)

My thinking was also influenced by the fact that SP1 was not given
in the above appMinorVersion? string but that may only have been
a transcription omission. As I recall my partition's history was: XP, IE6sp1, XPsp1
so perhaps I got both my IE6sp1 version and SP1 tag from IE6sp1?

I'm just about ready to uninstall XPsp1 on it just to find out what would be left.
Any guesses?

I would suspect that Arun should uninstall SP1 and re-install it with the
anti-virus turned off.
