Why is IE not displaying pages???

[Blobby J Blobdom]

I have a client who can use IE happily on his office LAN.
This LAN uses fixed addresses through a gateway.

Ive just configured a Siemens S55 Bluetooth phone to hook up to GPRS
for him.

The laptop and the phone pair easily and Dial Up Networking
establishes a connection.

I can ping the gateway, DNS and various remote servers.

However, IE will not display pages. I get 'Connecting to..." but then
shortly after 'page not found'

Neither can I use finger or telnet.

Any clues??

Thanks

J.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.

I doubt its SpyWare as his IE works quite merrily when hooked up to
his LAN.

Already thought of that and already checked.

 

[Blobby J Blobdom]

Done a double check and tried it both ways.

Nope, its definately not that.

Completely stumped now.

Anything else to check??

It was suggested that you repair damaged Winsock, by Frank, on the 14th, you
did not address that in any of your replies, Did you try it?

Try repairing the winsock connection. Paste this link
into your windows explorer if IE doesn't work and look at
the tools listed at the very bottom of the page:

I discounted it originally as IE works quite happily when normally
conncted to the LAN.

Its only when hooked up via GPRS Dial Up Networking that it fails.

I will however, try this out and report back.

Tried it, and as expected, makes no difference.

Now completely stumped.

Any other ideas??
