Client computer can't access the internet
This is my initial post on the XP networking newsgroup

Client computer can't access the internet
I'm not sure if I understand this. Are you able to open internet explorer
without a crash? If so, try this. (I'm not sure why this works but I've found it does sometimes) 1. In Internet Explorer click the "Tools" menu and click "Internet Options". 2. Click the "Connections" tab. 3. Click the "LAN Settings" button. 4. If the "Automatically detect settings" check box is checked, uncheck it. If it is unchecked, try checking it. 5. Hit OK twice (once for each window). 6. Try your connection again. For some reason, I find that I have trouble with connections when the "Automatically detect settings" is checked. If it is already unchecked, you might as well try checking it. If you DO change it from unchecked to checked, be sure to UNCHECK it if it doesnt work. Now, if IE is crashing, I really don't know what to tell you. Most likely, your IE installation is booched. You could try reinstalling/installing Internet Explorer 6. If you can't get it online, you could download the files on another computer, burn them to a CD and then use that. I'll think about this and read everything you posted over again in more detail but I g2g now.

Client computer can't access the internet

I normally use Firefox as my webbrowser although I keep IE on my computers as well. I cannot access the internet with either Firefox or IE. I get the error message I described in my original posting. Since neither web browser will connect I assume it is another situation. Everything worked OK until I removed the outdated antivirus NOD32 and replaced it with Norton 2005.

Client computer can't access the internet
I'm trying to think what could be the problem, but without looking at the
system, it's very hard to. Can't you contact Symantec and have them help you out, since it was their program that goofed the system up? Sounds like their uninstaller didn't remove everything. We could try using registry backups, or looking at the list of processes, and whatever, but contacting Symantec might be faster since they will know (hopefully) what their program does...... Troubleshooting Internet problems is not my forte.....I'm better with network setup and such. If you're able to ping, but not able to browse, I really don't have a clue what's going on. Like I said before, you could try reinstalling your browsers, but it almost sounds like some program is blocking access. Anyways, I'll go search for this on Symantec's web site. ~Aaron~ "Loring Hutchinson" wrote: I I normally use Firefox as my webbrowser although I keep IE on my computers as well.

Client computer can't access the internet
I'm trying to think what could be the problem, but without looking at the
system, it's very hard to. Can't you contact Symantec and have them help you out, since it was their program that goofed the system up? Sounds like their uninstaller didn't remove everything. We could try using registry backups, or looking at the list of processes, and whatever, but contacting Symantec might be faster since they will know (hopefully) what their program does...... Troubleshooting Internet problems is not my forte.....I'm better with network setup and such. If you're able to ping, but not able to browse, I really don't have a clue what's going on. Like I said before, you could try reinstalling your browsers, but it almost sounds like some program is blocking access. Anyways, I'll go search for this on Symantec's web site. ~Aaron~ "Loring Hutchinson" wrote: I I normally use Firefox as my webbrowser although I keep IE on my computers as well.

Client computer can't access the internet
I finally got my system up and working.
As I mentioned I had been using a piece of software called "Wingate" for my host/client setup. That, coupled with the NOD32 Antivirus that I removed must have been causing a file conflict somewhere. Out of frustration I finally saaid to myself. :Self, you got nothing to lose by starting over" I removed all the Wingate file, Removed the Nod32 files and started at square one with the Win XP network wizard. Followed all the steps and bingo, back on line. Thanks again for your help. Loring H On Tue, 10 Jan 2006 07:29:03 -0800, "Aaron" wrote: Google is nice.......

TIA Loring H ================================================== ================= Finally, after reading your posting on this newsgroup to someone who had very similar problems you said: Get the IP address of the XP computer Go to the 98 computer click START| RUN. Type in the field \\xpcomputernamehere in my case \\larry The response I got was: \\larry is not accessible Not logged on Try \\xpaddressofxpcomputerhere in my case 192.168.0.1 The response I got was: \\192.168.0.1 is not accessible. Not logged on Last but not least, I went to the icon on my win 98 computer control panel labelled Wingate Internet Client and double clicked on it and got the following error message. An error occurred while windows was working the control panel file C:\\Windows\system\\WGCLIENT.CPS I know this is a lot of info but I am trying to be complete and provide as much relevant info as possible. Thanks in advance Loring H |
