"This page cannot be displayed" problem!
Anyone...........
Weird problem on my Windows ME system: I lose Internet connectivity approximately 15 minutes after bootup. Until then all works very well. But when it dies, IE has the subject-line error message (whether using my dialup OR high speed). If I reboot, all works well again for about 15 minutes, then no more Internet again. Also, my other Internet applications don't work -- anti-virus updates, Instant Messaging, nothing else! HOWEVER, I can ping and tracert all over the world!!!!!!!!!!! Everything else on the computer works great, and no viruses caught by AVG. This is too crazy. Any help would be appreciated. EW |

"This page cannot be displayed" problem!
This sounds to me as if you may be getting Windows confused by having two
methods of connection potentially active at the same time - and it's choosing the wrong one. Go to Internet Properties |Connections - and ensure that 'never dial a connection' is the option you've chosen, and that there are no unwanted entries in the connection settings. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "LoneStar" wrote in message ...

See below for ref......
Thanks Noel, but I've done as you said befo no help. The problem is much deeper, since my connectivity only dies "after approximately 15 minutes after bootup" and since the problem is not an Internet Explorer issue (Windows Media Player will not work after 15 mins, or Firefox browser, or any other app that uses the Net). But remember, all is great immediately after bootup or restart!!!! I can go to many, many sites for about 15 minutes! I keep thinking TCP/IP configurations, etc, etc, but note that I can ping and tracert after Internet connectivity is lost. I've looked at ALL the Microsoft support sites on this, and this particular issue is not addressed anywhere. Guess it might be time for a reformat and OS installation! Thanks again.

"This page cannot be displayed" problem!
See below for ref........
Mike, let me get back with you on this, in a day or two! Don't ask. However, I feel that using a "non-DNS" address will produce the same results: nothing. Remember, this is a time-related issue, as strange as it seems. I will get back with you on the details of your message. In the end, I'm going to win this strange battle!! EW "Mike M" wrote in message ... Do you see any error message? Since you can ping and tracert but not surf, etc. it would appear the problem might be due to a DNS failure of some sort. What happens if you when the connection has failed you try and reach Google in Firefox or IE using the address 64.233.167.99 rather than www.google.com? -- Mike Maltby LoneStar wrote: See below for ref......

Thanks again, Noel. I will do as you suggest, using all the resources you
mentioned. I'll get back with you on this in a couple of days. REMEMBER -- this seems to be a "time-related" issue. My software must be all good since I DO get Internet connectivity for approx 15 minutes after each reboot. I don't see how a virus could cause such a problem as this, but something must! Too wicked.

LoneStar,
Try LSPFix as Noel has suggested as it is possible that the Winsock Stack has been corrupted/damaged just enough so that the connection deteriorates over time but is fine when you restart the system.

"This page cannot be displayed" problem!
HELP!
Wow, I've got the same problem on a friend's computer running WinME. I have tried everything that Mike suggested, in addition to Noel's and even used a program that cleans/wipes the winsock/lsp/dun software/registry information and re-installs it to see if that fixes it (it didn't). This only started happening about a week ago, up till then everything was great. One of the problems that I see, in addition to the original problem, is that occasionally I also can't ping external sites once the "internet" connectivity shuts down (either via the IP or UNC). I thought it might be a NIC problem too, so I uninstalled/removed the NIC and put a new one in. Same problem. I also disabled everything that was running at startup and several vxd's that were "add-ons" that I knew wouldn't crash the system. When I looked at the drivers loaded for the NIC, I noticed that it said the tcpip.sys wasn't loaded so I replaced it (using the WinME boot disk "minimal"), and found that I had to put it in the System directory instead of the System32/drivers for it to find and load it.
