I've searched long and wide for what I believe should be an easy answer. My
son bought an HP Pavilion desktop. I added it to my LAN. It sees the
Internet, but will not go to some places. I've tried to find a common action
that triggers Internet inaccessibility, but it is not that easy. Some places
(secure and not) are accessible and others are not. I've hit a wall with
support, hardware blaming software, software blaming hardware. What is
really interesting, windows update is one of the options that is
inaccessible. Every other machine runs Win 2K Pro and works fine at each
node in the house. Only the Win XP Home box demonstrates the fore mentioned
problem.
