Hi,
I saw this problem listed, but My issue is a bit different and the previous solution didn't work for me.
Please forgive me if any of my posts offend, as I am new to this site. I don't intend to be rude, but my ignorace may anger some. Also forgive the length of the post, I wish to be thorough as to avoid getting possible solutions that I have already tried or are not relavent.
I recently had some repairs done on my computer which involved reformatting my hard drive and when I got it back started having trouble accessing some internet sites. Unlike the previous person's post with this issue i can still access the internet and 95% of sites, but a select (and seemingly random) few give the IE cannot access website error. When I run the networking Diagnostics for Windows XP get the following error:
Check the Firewall settings for the HTTP Port (80), HTTPS port (443), and FTP port (21)
The only firewalls I know of on my computer are Windows and my router (both of which I have disabled) i have also tried Firefox and it craps out at the same exact sites.
In addition to selected sites, some third party programs are having trouble accessing the internet. This includes Nortons Installer (I haven't been able to install my antivirus yet because of this error) and I haven't been abble to register Microsoft office after I installed because it cannot access the internet for ID Key Verification.
I have tried turning off all LAN proxy settings, and power cycling my modem and router, as those were two possible solutions to this problem that other people used. Neither worked.
There is a fair chance that my computer was connected to the internet through another computer when it was being fixed. If this matters.
I am runnign Windows XP and IE 8. Like I said, it also doesn't work on firefox so I think the browser is not an issue.
I can provide any requested information.
Thanks!
