Hi,

I have a machine running windows XP Pro. The machine is hooked up to the internet via a cable modem attached via an ethernet connection. The machine is leased a valid ip address and you can ping url's without any problems from the command prompt. Internet explorer and MSN Messenger however will not work. It's as if there is no internet connection present. I have tried using the windows xp winsock/registry tool and also a repair install on windows but neither have worked. I've now run out of ideas to be honest!!!
Can anyone shed any light?

Cheers

Paul
