Re: HTTP not working, but everything else seems okay??

Did you ever solve this? I am having the same issue at a remote site
connected to wireless. However HTTP does not work. HTTPS works fine.
In fact everything works (PNP, VPN, everything!) except for http.

HTTP does work locally and through the vpn http://192.168.x.x no
problem.

Otherwise I get HTTP error 13125.

I have reset and everything. 2 days down the draim.

Hannibal, this is the very weird thing: ping works fine. DNS lookup returns
an IP and the ping works as expected; just seems like HTTP doesn't work. FTP
works fine, non-HTTP protocols seem to have no issue (MSN stays connected).

To confirm that it's not merely a browser issue, I've tried both IE and
FireFox as well as manual request generation from the HTTP Fiddler utility.
In all cases, I the response times out.

It's hard to tell if it's a port issue. As I said, HTTP works fine when I
start the machine and works for a random amount of time before bonking out
without me explicitly starting any new apps that would require internect
connectivity. No messages are going into any of the event logs with regards
to this issue after I applied the fix to increase the number of half closed
connections. Also, I do not lose the ability to browse web pages on any
other machines on my home network (even on VMs running on the same machine, I
can still connect to the internet). I'm not seeing Windows Firewall popup,
so I can't tell if it's that, but I'm almost certain that it isn't...

I'm wondering if it possibly has to do with a service installed by the .NET
Framework 3.0: The "Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service". I currently have it
stopped and set to manual start and I'm still dealing with this issue.

Can you ping the website by domain name? Such as www.google.com, if
you can't , maybe you need to check your DNS configuration.
Or, do you have firewall installed and port 80 blocked?

However, it seems like after a while, for whatever reason, I can't open new
HTTP connections.

FTP is fine. If I have an open music stream, it's fine and continues
streaming. Messenger stays connected. Everything else seems fine except for
HTTP.

I'm running IE7 on XP Professional SP2 but it isn't limited to just IE,
FireFox seems to be unable to perform HTTP transmissions either so it seems
like some sort of network stack issue.

At first, I thought it was an issue related to the error "TCP/IP has reached
the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts."
so I ran the fix detailed on various sites (SpeedGuide being one of them:
http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=1497) and upped my connections
to 96. However, I'm still getting the same problem :-( Running netstat -ab
showed only 86 connections across TCP and UDP and indeed, I'm not seeing the
same error that is a telltale sign of hitting the limit in the event log
anymore.

I run a few tabs in IE7 (nothing excessive, like 10 max?), an RSS reader
(RSS Bandit), MSN Messenger, and Skype. So, anyone have insight into this?
