This may be the wrong forum to post this question, so apologies in advance.
After clearing out some viral problems on a PC (XP home) I'm left with an
odd and annoying issue. While basic Internet conectivity is working (I can
Ping to a website using DNS, and also Telnet to port 80 and get a response),
no application seems to be able to connect to servers - things like AV
programs getting updates - and IE or Firefox can't load web pages.
All the normal settings, such as proxy and general networking parameters are
fine. Note that it's not just IE that can't connect, it seems to be ALL apps
that try to reach the Internet.
There are either some settings got broken, or system components/files gone
the same way.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to chase this down?
Thanks
Steve
