[yash]

i have a dell inspiron 600m laptop.I connect to my dial up network from the laptop but not internet explorer not opera not firefox.none of them can open a web page.even msn messenger and yahoo are not working.basically nothing can access the net.i tried repairing the installation of xp but it didnt work.what could be the problem?how do i fix it?please its urgent.

[choudang]

check the internet explorer setting.
BTW, do you use ur laptop in your office lan or surfing the net in the office lan?

[Vishal Gupta]

Try to restore the net settings in IE properties.

And also try to recreate the dial-up connection!

[Choto Cheeta]

can u ping any web site??

[yash]

i havent tried pinging.
warrior, i have checked every setting of internet explorer and connection properties with my desktop pc`s.
no theres no lan.its a direct dial up connection.
and i have tried getting everything to defaults,and as i mentioned i have checked all the connection settings too.

[swatkat]

Which is the Operating System?
If its Windows XP with SP2, then go to Command Prompt and type the command netsh winsock reset and press Enter key. Restart the System and check whether you can acesss the Internet.

If its Windows XP without SP2 or if its Windows 2000, then download WinSockXPFix and click the "Fix" button.

BTW, do you have any Firewall ?

[yash]

yes its win xp with sp2.i had zone alarm but i uninstalled it.i`ll try what u just said.
thanks swatkat

[yash]

nope it didnt help either.what else could it be?whats causing it?i think i didnt mention that when i just type the address of the website,without www or .com/.net pre and suffixes, it returns a value like http://%20google and the title bar displays a syntax error message.
also, there is a wierd thing happening,after i connect to the net and try accessing and disconnect, a process called svchost.exe takes up around 99% of cpu usage.whats this program?i have scanned my pc with spyware doctor,registry mechanic and mac a free antivirus

[swatkat]

Hi,
Download HijackThis and unzip it to dedicated folder (like C:\HijackThisFolder\hijackthis.exe).
Then run it and click the button Do a System scan and save log file. HijackThis will perform a scan and saves the log file as hijackthis.log in the same folder where it is installed and it also opens the file automatically.
Copy the entire contents of the file and post it here.

HijackThis has also been given in Digit or any other PC magazine CDs. You can look in those CDs to get it, if you cannot download it.

[yash]

okay will download that too.but do u have any idea what could be causing this?i also tried that application u told earlier(even though i have sp2)but its still the same.and the latest problem is a mDNSResponder.its taking up like 99%of my cpu.i have no idea what all this is.

Close all other programs and click "Fix Checked" in HijackThis.


Exit from HijackThis and delete this folder:-
C:\Program Files\Cram Toolbar


Go to Command Prompt and type the command
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
and press Enter key.


Open Internet Explorer, go to Tools Menu > Internet Options. Here click "Programs" tab and click the button "Reset Web settings" and click "Apply" and "OK".


Restart the system to normal mode and check whether you can access the Internet. Also, post a new HijackThis log file.

[swatkat]

And, the mDNSResponder.exe is related to Apple iTunes.

mdnsresponder.exe is a process associated with "Bonjour for Windows" software. It is used by ITunes for music sharing. This is a non-essential process. Disabling or enabling this is down to user preference.

Hi,
Log looks clean. If you are sharing the Internet from another PC, then i think there's a problem in the configuration.
These links show the configuration for sharing:-

i`m not sharing the connection.i am connecting to the dial up connection from the laptop itself.but am still not able to access any site

You haven't mentioned if the dial-up internet connection works on your desktop. Use the same dial-up ISP and phone line on your desktop computer and let me know if you get the internet working.

Maybe your phone line has too much noise, or, while i am guessing, maybe your dial-up ISP is having some temporary problems.

Hi,
Have you tried the Ping command? Go To Command Prompt and type
ping www.google.com and press Enter key. At end, observe the line which says "Sent", "Received" and "Lost". Post back whether there were any lost packets?

[mangemayur]

it might be due to worms or trojan

[yash]

its not a problem with the isp or the phone line.i have worked the same thing on my desktop.

U better check ur proxy settings.

[yash]

there are no proxy!its a direct dial up connection.and i was in pune recently where the laptop was working fine.This makes it even more Weird! Is there some compatibility issue with the bsnl conection here in akola and my laptop?

[yash]

Bump

wake up people I`m back in akola and while my pc was waiting for a new smps, i just decided to install a fresh windows xp on a second partition and now i can use the internet from this os.but i dont want to waste 3gb of space for a second copy of windows xp and then more to install the applications that i need to use on the net.so please help me with this problem of mine.

I could use the dial-up connection successfully in pune.could do everything i wanted.but in akola the same problem arose....someone has to be expert enough to tell me this...isnt it possible to use internet from two different isps(in my case pune and akola bsnl) on the same os-Winxp?
if thats the case then i think microsoft is amongst the stupidest software developers in the world!!!
