I can get access to Google earth and from the 'web' tab, access Yahoo mail

but little else.

IE cannot access a URL, not will Opera but the connection is there. I have

tried everything, including the Winsock fix. I can ping and traceroute etc

but cannot get directly to a URL

 

Could really do with some help please. My email address (which I can pick up

on my desktop) is highbridgesb@yahoo.co.uk

Do you really want to trust someone that was banned from posting

directly to Microsoft Usenet servers, someone that has posted links to

pornographic materials on HIS WEBSITE, who's website is in the MVP HOST

Block list, and who provides a tool for your use that will block access

to reputable anti-malware sites without telling you he's doing it?

 

And do you really want to trust someone that has had to change their

posting identity after being busted by MS as a fake MVP?

Might be the Zone Alarm fiasco.

If you have ZoneAlarm installed first uninstall it, reboot, that will re

estabilish your internet connection.

 

Then go to Zonealarm website, download the latest version 7.0.483.000 and

that will fix the problem.

 

The problem was due to the Windowns Security Update KB951748 and previous

version ZoleAlarm interaction.

RE: Internet access from an XP Pro laptop (wireless)

 

Sorry - I am limited with what I can access - as described in the question so

unfortunately, I haven't progressed. Perhaps I should reinstall XP - but it

came pre-installed! Is there likely to be a recovery partition or anything

like that?
