Re: Losing http://www connection but can still send/receive email???

Thanks for following up AJR,

I'm losing any browser connection whatsoever -- I can't even browse to my
router. I can ping the Linksys, and I can ping Internet IPs too. But NO
webpage loads (not even 192.168.1.1). Just had my connection vanish again,
in the middle of doing google searches for local restaurants. But this is
going through ok...

Confusing? - are you losing the connection to your ISP or to a website?

Ran the winsockfix utility, but no joy. A couple of days later and I've
already lost my WWW connection twice this afternoon/evening. Weird that I
can still connect to the newsgroups, and send/receive Email, but no
websites...

I'm trying to deal with a problem that is getting more and more annoying
on
one of my XP computers. I keep losing access to the WWW via my browser
(Firefox and IE), yet Email still comes and goes via Outlook. My 2nd
computer (tied in to the same Linksys router) never loses its
connection,
and all of my IMs on that computer stay online. On this computer, I
currently get "cannot connect to server" when I attempt to go to any web
address - but I'm able to send this message. I can ping my router, but
cannot browse to it. I can also ping websites from this computer, so
that
confirms that I do have Internet connectivity - plus I'm able to get
Email.
The only way I get http access again is to reboot. I have tried
disabling/reenabling my network connection, and also tried to "Repair"
the
connection, neither of which have worked. I have run AdAware and Spybot
as
well as Norton AV scans. (Spybot and NAV run/monitor continuously).
WindowsUpdate is up to date. I really don't understand what could cause
this
type of problem. Can anyone offer any insight?

Shooter,

please have a look at http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm . I suspect
some kind of Winsock corruption, but the web page should help
you to pinpoint that more accurately.
