Norton Firewall dnserror problem...

[TK]

Have uninstalled and reinstalled Norton Firewall several times, when enable
IE6 will not work at all.
IE6 cannot access the web at all when the firewall is enabled. It shows
"Page not found" and briefly on IE6's status bar it shows:-

"
res://C:\windows\system32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm#http://www.wanadoo.co.uk"

If I right-click on the little green Norton firewall icon in the system tray
and disable the firewall and "refresh" the page in IE6, it loads okay. If I
turn on the firewall and try to go to, say, Google.com, - same problem -
"Page not found," turn off the firewall and try to go to Google and it loads
okay.

Any ideas HUGELY accepted.

regards, Richard

Connect but Cannot Browse Registry Fix

Works on Xp Pro and Home. Not tested on 2000. Great for resetting winsock
when connected using dial-up, DSL or cable but unable to browse any web
page. I know how frustrating it is. Specially when you upgrade from
dial-up to broadband. Enjoy!

Click on Start, then Run. Type regedit.

FIRST OF ALL BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY (File --> Export registry file --> Export
Range = All --> Enter a filename and remember the location --> Save)

Your registry file is backed up. Next:

Click once on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE so that it is selected.

Then click on File, then on Load Hive.

Go to My Computer the C Drive, then click twice on the Windows or Winnt
folder, then the Repair folder, then click twice on the system or system.bak
file.

Name the new Key "xp".

Minimize the Registry Editor.

Click on Start, Run, and type in cmd.

Type in the following:

reg copy hklm\xp\controlset001\services\winsock2
hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\winsock2 /s /f

There is a space (not a carriage return or Enter) separating "reg copy
hklm\xp\controlset001\services\winsock2" and
"hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\winsock2 /s /f"

You will get a message that the operation completed successfully.

Exit DOS or command shell.

Maximize the Registry Editor. Select the xp folder that was created.

Click on File, then UnLoad Hive.

You will be prompted to confirm the removal of the folder, click Yes.

Exit the Registry.

Connect and browse. (No need to reboot the computer.)

Beats having to re-install Windows and having to pull your hair all night
long in utter frustration!!! I know! Been there, done that!

ENJOY!
