Re: IE & Outlook Suddenly cannot see the internet

I am using Norton 360. I completely disabled it. BTW - Norton reported that
IT could not access the internet to do its automatic update.

I am using XP Pro SP 1.2
I have Windows Update set to Automatic
Yesterday afternoon suddenly IE & Outlook stopped accessing the internet.
I have 2 Windows machines hard-wired to a LinkSys WRT54G router which
connects to a Cable Modem.
The second machine works fine. IE, Outlook, no problems.
From the first machine I can PING anything on the web, so I know I am
connected. Network Connections says my LAN is Connected. Firewall is OFF.
If I open the LAN Status box and PING something, the Sent & Received
packet
counts increment as expected.
If I try to access an IP address (even the LinkSys at 192.168.1.1), the
packet counts do not change.
I have tried running thru both Network Setup and New Connection wizards.
Nothing changes.

Any clue what is happening???

Check all / any software firewall setting including any anti-virus
Internet worn protection module. These Internet worm blovking systems
behave exactly like a firewall.
