Hey,

This problem has been effecting both my Windows XP machines for the past 2
weeks, its very strange and I've tried most things but can't even get to the
bottom of the problem to solve it. It all starts with the Internet not being
available to these protocols, HTTP, NNTP and others but I've been unable to
pin point them exactly, now its all fair enough it thinking I'm not
connected but its only those, I stay connected to MSN, Trillian and can even
recieve my mail. To solve it temporarily I release my IP address and then
Renew it, this made me think it may be IP related but I'm sure that would
effect all connectivity. I hope this is enough information for anybody
willing to help, may I also add that it effects Windows XP SP1 and SP2, it
is very random in occcurence and IP's are assigned by DHCP from a Zyxel
Zywall 2 Firewall.

Thanks in advance, feel free to ask questions.

Dear Alex,
I have a quite similar problem.
I am wondering what will be the solution without reinstalling Win XP.
Do you know if there is a way to "reinstall" IE ?
Good luck,
Tariq
 
Dear Alex,
I am slowly working my way through this problem, I am finding mainly that it
is my Firewall to fault here, but I'm not 100% sure, I will be back with
more updates.
