What error message does it give you when you try to install IE6?
you reinstalled ME overtop? if you did you may have just compounded the problem... the thread below this one dicusses overtop installs a bit...
and I'm glad you enjoyed my story lol
(at least SOMEONE did :P )
Hey I used to live on Pine Island about 20 or so years ago. My place was a restored pump house located in the middle of an old fruit orchard on Don Randell's property. Those were salad days for me - was single and worked as a country DJ in FM. Greetings from Lower Alabama!Quote:

Reference your story you like telling, for the most part I agree. However, in this case ala has tried a number of things that should have helped but haven't. I was therefore suggesting the belt and braces method to avoid reinstallation, since this is what the brief was on this occasion.
Do you really find it that way NooNoo??Quote:

Still?
Is there still a glass ceiling?
Moreso in the UK v US?
To alabama dude:https://forums.windrivers.com/back at ya.
Been here six years and boy has this place grown.
Do you mean Randell as in Randell Research Center??
Interesting.
PM me so we don't ruin this thread.
What error message do you get???Quote:

Thanks for the link. I am definitely going to pursue this thing. Gotta go.Quote:

I can ping IP addresses which return (with -a switch) their respective domain names, plus tracert gets me to the hosts server at 192.168.1.1 and beyond to their gateway. Just about every application which could potentially interfere with comm has been uninstalled or disabled. This is a real poser! :(Quote:

Just to interject a little here.... Arch I've seen the way you are talking work and I've seen it not work. Actually around here it seems to not work more often then it does. The "long" way as you call it often saves us the trouble of having to go back again after trying it the simple way.... or worse yet having the computer come back shortly thereafter and have to do a more thorough "long" job. Now it doesn't neccessarily have to be all the steps of NooNoo's solution either as this seems to be an extreme case she is referring to....
Well, Arch0, here's a weird twist to all this. I tried pinging your IPs and they all timed out. I logged in to a different ISP and was able to ping those addresses. I could also ping other IP addresses once. Then requests would time out after that as if once an IP was reached it got placed in a blocked list. Does that make sense? Doesn't to me.Quote:

I was just making an observation that in win98 it's not required to do all that... as for winME it didn't help the person anyways... :) so either way I'm just offering my opinion... if it works... YAY... if it doesn't... DOH....
and to alabutler, yeah I had problems pinging those today on another ISP I was using (I curious to see myself if they were accessable at work) and they were not.... either they've changed them or they don't allow everyone access to them... have you tried the DNS servers from actual ISP you are using ? As for the blocked list theory, I'm totally baffled. Quite bizarre...
I re-read the previous posts again and I'm not familiar withe the "stinger" program you used for virus checking... have you tried scanning with a second scanner as most virus scanners do not pick up on everything... I usually attach the hard drive to a second computer with two virus scanners installed (AVG free and Norton 2003 currently) AVG picks up stuff Norton doesn't and vice versa. Plus by attaching the drive to another system you aren't using any files so it can properly scan every file... however, with viruses that implement registry settings you'll have to either fix them manually or use a fix tool from SARC or AVG to correct it.
I also noticed you reinstalled ME, I am assuming of course this is overtop of the existing ME. Well if this is the case, as per a rather heated discussion elsewhere, chances are you have mismatched DLLs or something. The person with the problem was experiencing ActiveX issues and fixed it by updating windows again with the cumulative update for IE... maybe you need something along the same lines now?
Wow... I can really write up a storm about almost nothing! (bored at my second job)...
"Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations." Available at:Quote:

I can't figure out why one ISP blocks all attempts to ping domains and another allows it. The IPs don't all reply, but they all resolve. This evening I tried regenning me from the original CD and installing Opera again. No dice. Am going to make another run through MS support to see if there are any sp's or patches for ME(win9x). Tomorrow I will try the 2-drive scan. Great idea. I subscribe to Mcafee online, which is a pretty fair service, although I've seen quite a few articles that have about persuaded me to switch to Symantec.
Have you tried creating a dialup account and connecting through it? Just a thought. Sounds like it's nothing that is on the system. You say the host isp uses 192.168.1.1 or did I misread that and the users gateway is that ip? It could be that the isp has disabled the connection. I have heard many stories of users that just got "turned off" by their isp, without a follow up call explaining why, because of the blaster worm. Have you contacted the isp to see if they could be of some help?
