Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / February 2008IE & Outlook Suddenly cannot see the internet
I am using XP Pro SP 1.2 I have Windows Update set to Automatic Yesterday afternoon suddenly IE & Outlook stopped accessing the internet. I have 2 Windows machines hard-wired to a LinkSys WRT54G router which connects to a Cable Modem. The second machine works fine. IE, Outlook, no problems. From the first machine I can PING anything on the web, so I know I am connected. Network Connections says my LAN is Connected. Firewall is OFF. If I open the LAN Status box and PING something, the Sent & Received packet counts increment as expected. If I try to access an IP address (even the LinkSys at 192.168.1.1), the packet counts do not change. I have tried running thru both Network Setup and New Connection wizards. Nothing changes. Any clue what is happening???

These Internet worm blovking systems behave exactly like a firewall. I am using Norton 360. I completely disabled it. BTW - Norton reported that IT could not access the internet to do its automatic update.

If you just disabled it from starting up on your XP, this is not good enough since 360 is still protecting (aka blocking) your system. You need to turn 360 off from within the Advanced Settings within 360. Yes yes yes. I turned it off from its own control panel, rebooted, openned the control panel, and its still OFF.
