I have the same problem!



Did you ever get your PC working? If so, what was the problem, because my main PC now has the same problem as far as I can see: I can connect over the Internet using FTP and HTTPS, but not HTTP. (I haven't tried email yet because I want to leave my emails on the server for now.)

[My problem started when I (eventually!) got my PC working again after accidentally installing an old Beta upgrade to Microsoft .NET Framework. That locked up my PC every time I rebooted it, and I eventually fixed it by completely removing .NET Framework, but that left me with the HTTP problem.]

Internet Explorer's "Diagnose Connection Problems" tool (available when it fails to load a web page) eventually led me to the discovery that it was just HTTP that was affected, and that FTP and HTTPS were fine.

I *might* be able to fix the problem by rebooting my PC, but I'd rather find the real cause.
