oh my, now what?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all. I don't even know which group to post this. I have winxp with sp2. I

can't connect to microsoft sites (updates, hotmail, etc. ) Most sites load

great with my cable internet. I formatted my drive and started fresh with a

new xp install, with no change. I thought it might have been IE7, so I tried

IE6. No change there, either. If anyone has suggestions, or which group to

ask for help, I welcome replies. My big hang up is that my flight sim 9

suddenly quits (just disappears). Thanks.

RE: oh my, now what?

 

It's just possible that your ISP is inadvertently blocking the Microsoft

sites. We had this problem at my employer a couple of months ago - couldn't

reach either Microsoft or Yahoo! sites. Our facetious first guess was that

it was a Google plot.

Have you checked for errors in your event logs?
