Guest OceanView Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Posting this yet again because I REALLY need a resolution, my job (first job I've had in three years) depends on it. Please help if you can. I've never had a PC network problem this puzzling. ----- When I boot the machine, everything's fine. Ping works, ipconfig reports everthing ok, browsers work. About 10 minutes later, 'Page not found' on both IE and Firefox...BUT...other connections still work, such as the xnews browser I'm typing into now. Ping still works. I type the yahoo IP address inthe browser, page not found. When this started happening is when I installed a require VPN software to connect to my employer's network. I've since removed it, but the problem has stayed. I'm an old software guy, but networks baffle me. What could be happening here and how do I find it? Two things I've tried already: pare down the system to bare minumum and installed the TCP connection limit removal patch (I was getting a warning about that). Ideas?
