I have three computers on a network -- one of the three has lost the
ability to connect to web pages via the http protocol. Ping, email,
chat, ftp, localhost and https just fine, but I get no connection for
http. (I've tried Firefox and IE7, neither work.)
The problem started yesterday about the same time I installed a Cisco
VPN client and could not get it properly configured to connect to a
network -- I may have inadvertently changed some setting in trying to
get the VPN client to work. We also ran a bunch of Windows updates
yesterday morning, and uninstalled a bunch of garbage from the machine
sometime during the day. Nothing like mucking everything up all at
once.
I have...
uninstalled the VPN client
reset the router
checked the firewall (including disabling it altogether)
run netsh winsock reset
searched for spyware, viruses, etc
checked the proxy settings, security settings etc in IE (but that
wouldn't explain the Firefox probem.)
I was considering a system restore, but the only restore point seems
to be from yesterday evening after the problem started -- which is
strange in itself.
Any advice would be appreciated.
