Re: Cannot use IE or Firefox anymore on Vista after Update

Thanks for the reply Nikolina.
(i) I had deinstalled Norton AW a long time ago after I ran out of subscription.
(ii) Tried both the commands. They appeared to work initially as the browser would just just wait on load for a minute. But then it would popup the same - IE cannot display web page - error. I do not have any firewall setup, and also every other application, that connects to other ports work like a charm.
One thing to report when running command as Administrator:
> netsh int ip reset
Resetting Echo Request, failed!!!
Access is denied.
Resetting Interface, ok!!!
Reboot required ...
Of course, the browsers do not work even after reboot.
Note: Other applications like Veoh TV player, etc that connect to google, yahoo search engines also fail. Independent tools like SopCast work fine.

I was going to switch to older stable OS when my Spring Semester ends, but this issue is giving me a lot of problems close to my exams. So appreciate any quick assistance/solution.
