OK I hvae searched and can't find this problem I am having discussed, so
here goes:
Running Windows XP Pro on Dell Latitude D800 (Laptop); 1.6mHz, 768MB
Ram; 20GB HD
After running smoothly for a while, I have been having consitent but
resolvable internet access problems. Basically, (nearly) whenever I
start up a cold start, I cannot get on the internet. At work, using LAN
and fixed TCP/IP settings, the network card is enabled and active, but
when I check status, nothing is going in either direction. At home using
a wireless card with automatic IP/DNS assignment, there is a red X
through the "Wireless Network Connection". BUT, if I do a reboot, then
at either location, 95% of the time, I can get on the internet following
1 reboot, without changing anything else. Rarely it takes 2 reboots.
Some observations:
-I cannot disable the wireless Network Connection or the Local Area
Connection when it is in the "non'access" mode. The machine usually
freezes up, and requires a con-alt-del "End Task".
-Often when restarting, the machine never finishes shuting down, and I
have to force it to shut down. This may usually only occur when I have
tried to disable a network connection, but I am not sure.
-I have tried it with Service Pack 2 installed and uninstalled. This
doesn't seem to make a difference. Currently it is uninstalled.
-Perhaps unrelated (?): Recently I was running blackice firewall (I am
not now). The computer was running OK for a while, then one evening (at
home) I got the error message:
"BLOCKING ACCESS TO THE
CORPORATE NETWORK -- Application Compliance : This is the default
blocking message".
I note one other recent post about this error message:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22This+is+the+default+blocking+message%22&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&selm=CC64D95B-60D4-4288-AEEA-2CEE59F84138%40microsoft.com&rnum=1
I am running a virus scan software that should be automatically updated.
I think Blackice firewall may have been responsible for this problem,
but I am not sure. Perhaps I am non-compliant,,,but at home on
Quest/MSN? I had just come from work, where everything was fine.
-Perhaps unrelated (?): I used to be able to access a network drive on a
work computer, from home, when running VPN client for my network. Now,
although I can run VPN clietn and can see the drive, I cannot do
anything with the drive. It now gives me error messages like: "Drive is
already in use".
I am wondering if I have some worm on my machine or something. Is there
a way to test for this? I just find it strange that I can solve this
problem by rebooting.
Thanks for any input.
