Can get internet but can't get the Web? What is up with that?
I've not had much luck with the last few routers lately.
Now the router I have will not give me WWW access. I can still access Usegroups though. I only do email via the web now so I don't know if that works or not. Any ideas why this is so? Thanks RC |

Thanks RC Go to Internet Explorer, go to TOOLS, Go to INTERNET OPTIONS, Go to CONNECTIONS, then select LAN Settings, then make sure nothing is checkmarked. Click OK then exit out of Internet Explorer and then try opening Internet Explorer and see if it works now. |

What happens when you put an IP-type URL in your browser addressline? google websearch page: http://74.125.224.176/ IP chicken in IP syntax: http://209.68.27.16/ If that works, how is your DNS configured? -- Mike Easter |

Rare few users enter an IP address for the NNTP server in their news account definition in their newsreader, so it is unlikely that DNS is a problem. When a site tells you to enter news.individual.net, do you do an nslookup to get the IP address and use that instead? Maybe but most users would just enter news.individual.net for the server name. |

With multiple routers giving you problems and now the one you are using, the problem doesn't look to be at the router unless, of course, it isn't your router and your parents are blocking http through it. You've switched between multiple routers and the problem remains (unless the reason you switched to different routers was for a different problem with each one but we wouldn't know since you didn't say). If the same problem has been experienced with each router, sure looks like the problem is with your host and not the routers. If you are using a router, does that mean you have more than one host connected to it? If so, do the other hosts connect okay via http to web sites? I can still access Usegroups though. I only do email via the web now so I don't know if that works or not. What happens when you disable the security software you installed on your host (anti-virus, anti-malware, HIPS, firewall, parental controls or censorware, etc)? Have you tried rebooting into Windows in its safe mode (with networking) and checked if you can use http to connect to web sites? |

Thanks RC You are the third post I've seen today with people having issues with navigating the web today. The other two were in Europe. Are you? |

Yes. You are probably using a NAT router, and your firewall is blocking port 80. Go to the router web page on your router and check your tcpip port settings. Possibly .. Mommie has parental controls set to No Internet ? Or you have a funny friend who did that ? Note: if your router doesn't have a firewall, then it's your "other" firewall in your anti-virus. And that firewall maybe conflicting with Windows firewall which should be disabled. If you don't have anti-virus, you should stay off the internet until you do. |

Can get internet but can't get the Web? What is up with that? One more thing..., it only affects one of my laptops, the rest are fine.
I forgot to mention it and I'm not sure if it makes a difference but
the problem I am having is only with one of my wireless connections. The other laptops work, it is just one I am having trouble with. I've not been off work yet long enough to try the other solutions but I'll try them tonight and get back to those of you who were helpful enough to give me so advice.

ATTENTION GMAN :.... Can get internet but can't get the Web? What is up with that? ATTN: [email protected]
Sir,
After a period of being away from my computer I was finally able to try your suggestion. I don't consider myself a newbie by any stretch but I never would have looked there for a problem. And BTW, it worked like a charm. I was looking for a problem with my router or some change SOMEONE(?) had made to it. I sometimes think that gremlins must play on my computers because of all the changes I often find. Do you have any thoughts on how this could have been changed? Would some program do it? I install and remove programs all the time but nothing that I would think would mess with IE. Nor has anything ASKed if it could tweak IE. Again, a thousand thanks. Any chance you can tell me your thoughts on how you arrived as that to be the source of the problem? Just to help me in the future when I do trouble shooting. I suppose that since I had Internet to the computer it had to be IE or the router, (right?) I mean, you had to consider the router as a possible source of the problem?

But thank you for attempting to help (those of you who did in fact make an attempt and not just a comment.) Also, to Mike Easter: I get nothing when I put in any address. Not connected to the net. Tvelblen - I'm not in Europe. Johns - mommie or a friend may have dicked with controls but the router is PW protected and to complex to be guessed ( I use the word password, crazy eh!) and I still get Internet, just not IE. I didn't try a second Web Surfing prog like Chrome or Firefox as I've been away recently helping to keep the world safe from evil doers. But GMAN was spot on in his solution to my problem and that with the poorly written explanation of my problem. The man is good to both figure out what I meant from what I wrote and then to solve the problem. I couldn't pay for this kind of help. Thanks again for the help. RC |
