"This page cannot be displayed" problem!
I checked it in Normal Mode, then went to Safe Mode to be sure that the old NIC
wasn't listed (so no conflicts there). And BTW, my comment about pinging not working - not entirely correct. The DNS servers DO return the IP of sites when I use the UNC or URL, but it just gets a "request timed out". Apparently the connection out to the DNS servers work? No malware detected, which didn't surprise me as the system was using Panda w/truprevent and it was never disabled and I had done a full scan with it also. I completely disabled it (takes disabling a .vxd to keep it from loading "extraneous" stuff) to make sure it wasn't interfering during this testing phase. On another note, I tried just booting and waiting 15 minutes before trying to get on the internet and it wouldn't let me! So you don't have to be actively accessing the internet for it to "time out". It seems to start from the moment you get logged in. Robert Robinson Data Recovery Technician "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

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).

"This page cannot be displayed" problem!
Have you tried pinging your DNS server? - this sounds more and more like a
problem with your ISP, rather than one at your end If you can successfully ping the DNS server, but nothing beyond it, then it may be that the server is either poisoned or not functioning properly - and that is definitely your ISP's problem. -- 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 "Robert Robinson" wrote in message ...

Noel, and gang.................... I'm back! And I'm glad (??) to see that someone else has the exact problem I do!!! Sorry about that, Mr. R. Robinson. Regarding your suggestions from yesterday, I did run Stinger, CWS Shredder, several online AV scans and a local scan, and ran the LSPFix program. I did everything Mr. Robinson did, and still no good. I've resigned myself to simply formatting my C: drive and reloading WindowsME from scratch. The fact that I don't know if/how/where I can find drivers for my hardware only has me in a mild panic now. Will cross that bridge later..... This problem is incredible, and I've seen lots of them. How Internet connectivity can simply drop off after a specific period of time is too weird, esp. after working great up to that point. By the way, swapping another Windows ME computer with this one works! So it's definitely INSIDE that particular unit. Thanks for your help. If you have any other ideas, I'll be looking. EW |

"This page cannot be displayed" problem!
When I ping my DNS servers they respond, which makes sense since in one of my
previous posts I mentioned that when I ping a URL it returns the IP of the site - ergo, the DNS servers are accessible. As with "LoneStar", I have connectivity through the same ISP/DNS servers with 4 other computers, Win98, WinXP, Win2K and one other WinME which are all working fine so the server(s) must be functioning properly. It's isolated to this one computer, and since other users have the problem it seems important to discover the cause. I may have to give up and reformat also, but am willing to continue working on this just so we can figure it out to help others that may soon experience it. On another note, my system is dying at about 10 minutes or less, not 15 as LoneStar's was. Robert Robinson Data Recovery Technician "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

"This page cannot be displayed" problem!
I just tried also to boot with ME diskette/minimal and ran scanreg /fix to be
sure there were no registry problems that might be related to lost keys. Still no fix. Anyone got solutions that haven't been mentioned so far? I'm pretty desperate to get this going without wiping the drive and starting over. Robert "Robert Robinson" wrote in message ... When I ping my DNS servers they respond, which makes sense since in one of my previous posts I mentioned that when I ping a URL it returns the IP of the site - ergo, the DNS servers are accessible. As with "LoneStar", I have connectivity through the same ISP/DNS servers with 4 other computers, Win98, WinXP, Win2K and one other WinME which are all working fine so the server(s) must be functioning properly. It's isolated to this one computer, and since other users have the problem it seems important to discover the cause. I may have to give up and reformat also, but am willing to continue working on this just so we can figure it out to help others that may soon experience it. On another note, my system is dying at about 10 minutes or less, not 15 as LoneStar's was. Robert Robinson Data Recovery Technician "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...
