Hi there,

I consider myself a fairly savvy tech but am having some difficulties
accessing the internet in normal mode on Windows XP Professional SP1.  Now,
we have gone through the whole deal of fixing the Winsock issues as well as
running the lsp fix.  the interesting thing about this one is that if you go
into safe mode W/ networking enabled you can access IE and surf the web fine.
But if you go into IE in normal mode you get This Page Cannot Be Displayed
errors.  If you enter the command prompt and ping, you can ping the router as
well as outside websites.  I pinged yahoo.com just fine.  I have notice that
this applies to any program we install as well.  We installed SpyBot and
tried updating it in normal mode and it gives a socket error 10061.  If we
update in safe mode it works fine.  This leads me to say that the system
seems to be free of spyware and viruses as well, we have run ewido, adaware,
spybot, microsoft anti-spyware, escan, norton, and some other tools.  We have
even gone as far as to check the services difference from safe mode to normal
mode and that made no difference as well.  The one thing I can think of here
is that Internet Security from norton is hosed, but we have stopped all
services relating to this and stopped it from starting up as well.  Anyone
out there have any other suggestions?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Dave
