I'm having major computer issues.....[views:3804][posts:11]________________________________ [Apr 1,2004 2:28pm - Siberia ""] And the fools here at my work haven't got a clue how to fix my problem. That's why I'm going to ask all you computer geniuses what you think I should do. So, here's my dilema. Internet Explorer will not connect to anything, nothing at all, not our internal servers or any websites at all. So, I give Netscape a try and it's running just fine, my outlook is running fine too. I haven't got any viruses on my PC and no one here seems to have a clue how to fix this problem. Has anyone here had anything like this happen to them before? How did you fix it? I've uninstalled IE a number of times, I've downloaded a new version, nothing is working. |

| __________________________________ [Apr 1,2004 2:35pm - subjugate ""] when in doubt re boot also unplug it and plug it back incannot hurt to try that too |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 1,2004 2:36pm - the_reverend ""] are their any proxies set? tool->internet options->connections->lan settings? |
| ________________________________ [Apr 1,2004 2:40pm - Siberia ""] Rebooting did nothing. I've installed, uninstalled, rebooted, you name it, it's most likely been tried! LAN setting is "automatic detect" should I try using a Proxy Server? |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 1,2004 2:51pm - the_reverend ""] try turning autodetect off |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 1,2004 2:59pm - Wee...Bink! ""] nah, i think it needs to be on to get its IP. Can you ping anything? Goto Start->Run->winipcfg then type Ping 3com.com |
| ________________________________ [Apr 1,2004 2:59pm - Siberia ""] Thanks Aaron but No Dice, I'm screwed. It all started back when Google stopped loading and some other search page would load. It worked fine this way for a while but one day the whole thing shit out. I think I'm going to need to persuade the company to give me a new computer. I can't do my daily work without IE and when I'm getting paid like 96K per year I ned to show some results to the boss! JK, I make peanuts here for the amount of work I do! |
| ________________________________ [Apr 1,2004 3:02pm - Siberia ""] So, I went to run and typed in winipcfg 3com.com and it gave me a usage report? Is that what I'm looking for here? |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 1,2004 3:11pm - the_reverend ""] winipcfg is probably ignoring the 3com.com I'd say download adaware and spy bot s&d with netscape and then run them. I'm guessing you have some spy ware that's doing it. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 1,2004 3:21pm - Siberia ""] Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too seeing as Nutscrape is running pretty much fine! Thanks for all the help! |
