Re: Internet Explorer (port 80) connect problem

Hi Dick, what you need to type in the command window is just the word
netstat then a single space and the rest as Robert mentioned.

You should get something like this

UDP 127.0.0.1:1027 *:* 1816
IAS
[svchost.exe]

UDP 127.0.0.1:1029 *:* 184
WINS
[wins.exe]


It tells you what program is trying to access what using which "Port" on the
machine - some programs as you can see from mine are supposed to access
127.0.0.1 which is the IP address reserved for your machine, my machine,
everybody's machine. 127.0.0.1 always is the machine talking to itself.

The > Robert used in the next part of the line simply redirects the output
from Netstat to a file called whatever name.txt you put after the > else it
will all shoot up the screen too fast to read.

Another thing you can do is try this link.

http://207.46.225.60/

It should take you to the same page as thins link

http://www.microsoft.com/

If the first link works but the second doesn't there could be a problem with
your "Hosts" file or something else left over from spyware which is what
often breaks the XP "Sockets" that you fixed. By default there's only one
demonstration entry in the hosts file so if you can do a search for a file
called "HOSTS" with no extension and there's more than the obvious example
maybe that is the trouble and you can rename it HOSTS.OLD or something and
try again.

(Not trying to interfere, just trying to help out in case Robert's gone to
bed for the night :)
