Re: IE Behavior

Appreciate the follow-up, suppose I did get off track on that last post.

For how long after boot-up does IE work ? Also does your Network
Connections folder have a "Gateway" device shown ?

I ahve the firewall disabled at the router because of a VPN client I use
with
my work PC.

Please note that I use my work PC from home, as well as My son and
Daughters
PC and neither of them display this behavior. It is only my prsonal
desktop.
Therefore it is not a broadband / NIC problem.

I thought maybe it was, and the PC I have has two(100 Mb and Giga). So I
switched over to see it that would help. Same problem occured.

As emntioned, when the behaviors occurs on my PC I am still able to open a
command prompt and ping web sites, my router, other PCs on my home
hetwork.
It is just IE that no longer responds. Not even to opening my router setup
page at 192.168.x.x.

Thans for your assiatnce.

Just curious, why do you have the Firewall function of the Router
disabled ? Speaking of Access equipment - have you checked to
see if a Firmware update is available for it ?
Very unusual that it initially works, and after a time stops. You may
want to consider using "Statically" assigned parameters for the NIC
instead of DHCP from the router. (Address, Gateway & DNS).
It's more difficult to diagnose a "Time-Lapse" type of issue, since
basic operation is OK. It also wouldn't appear to be an Add-In
(ActiveX) since Opera/Firefox don't utilize them. Sometimes these
types of issues fall back to the simplest of things. Do you have a
single Access device (Modem) or a combo of ISP device and then
a separate Router ?
I'll mull it over and if any ideas/suggestions come to mind, I'll post
back.

Local host is the one listed below. I am using the native XP forewall
and
the
one in my router is disabled. Nothing in the event viewer for
application
,
security or System that would seem related to stopping a service, etc/.

Thans for any other guidance you may be able to provide.

If other network functions still work, then it's doubtful the issue is
NIC
driver related. Have you checked your Hosts file at:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Ect
There should be only a single entry for Local Host 127.0.0.1
(with a few heading/comments using #)

You should check both System & Application Event logs for errors.
Because it works immediately after booting - perhaps a necessary
System Service is stopping or halting. I wouldn't totally rule out the
McAfee AV as a contributor.

By the way are you using a 3rd-Party Firewall or the XP Native one ?

Hello. I seem to be having some extrange IE behaviors. Upon boot up,
I
can
open IE and browse the internet. After a while, I am unable to use
IE
to
browse the internet. It would seem that there is not internet
connection.
I
can then open CMD and ping web sites. I thought it was an IE problem
so
I
downloaded Opera and firefox. Both of the programs experecience same
behavior. Use hijack tool, MS ANtispyware and other adware removal
tools
to
do scan and nothing came up. Running latest McAfee definition files
and
latest OS patches for Windows XP SP2. Conducted full system scan
with
McAfee
and nothing came up. Looked at start up programs and there is
nothing
out
of
the ordinary there. Any suggestions? By the way, I use Window Washer
to
regularly clear my browser cache, etc.

When the behavior accurs I am still able to open Outlook and bring
down
email or use a FTP program to upload files to my personal web site.

When the behavior occurs , I am not even able to access my router
via
the
normal 192.168.x.x web address. Again, pinging is not a problem.
There
is
internet connectivity. I could use my work laptop, and I am able to
browse. I
have checked it with a laptop and my son's PC. All running same Win
Xp
SP2
with latest packages, etc. They do not experience the same behavior.

Your assiatnce is apperciated.
