Hi all,
I am setting up a computer at our friends house and out of the box its been ****. I never liked E-machines.
So here it goes.
Windows Vista IE7.
This computer is connected through wireless to a router with 2 other computers. 1xp and the other I have not looked at.
IE7 will only load a few specific domains such as;
Google.com
Gmail.com
Emachines.com
Thats about it. All other pages I try to go to including MSN.com, Microsoft.com, Hotmail.com, YouTube.com, etc., IE says "website found, waiting for reply" but nothing ever loads. The progress bar slowly inches along.
Firefox does the same thing.
I can not download or update anything. Windows update does not work either.
Windows says I am connected to the internet and I can browse the network.
Here is what I have tried;
- Resetting Internet Explore Settings
- Setting IE LAN settings "Automatically Detect Settings"
- Uninstalling Mcafee's Demo w/ Add/Remove Programs and their Uninstall Utility which got rid of the rest of their program.
- Updated drivers for Linksys wireless card for Vista compatability
- Included the computer in the DMZ list in the router settings.
- Looked for Mcafee proxy service, found nothing (good)
- Resetting the network doesn't do anything. (Ipconfig /release and renew)
I am stuck. I have searched all over the internet but found nothing.
This computer is new and has never been setup untill two days ago when I was working on it. I am ready to reinstall windows if this doesn't get resolved. Mainly because the windows sidebar was corrupted from the initial start so I wouldn't doubt something else is.
Anyone have any ideas that I should try?
Right now I was going to try safemore with networking but I noticed it has a "repair your computer" option so I am going to try that.
Safe mode is won't allow pages to load either.
I am going to use a app I saw that might be helpful to trace the problem called, Fiddler. Anyone have experience with this? If so, is it going to help?
Going to try it.
Fiddler has me confused as **** as to what its looking for and tell me but I see the "result" , "200" very often. What does that mean.
When fiddler access its own website, after about 5 minutes, the website will start to appear but will not be loaded completly or correctly. Tables and picture won't be full yloaded..
Almost like the internet connection is VERY slow but yet other websites such as google and Emachines come right up in a second?
