Vista - Cannot browse with browsers

pabloba · 07-28-2008

Hello,
I am having a small problem with my web browsers. Every time I wan´t to go online, the LAN is conected (even messenger etc.. works) but NONE of my explorers (Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Safari) seem to log into any sites. If ANYONE has any ideas, PLEASE
REPLY. It´s quite frustrating.
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Pablo.

Can you ping any hosts? Open up an command prompt and try pinging Google for example.

Sorry I don´t know what ping means. Could you explain a bit more please?
As far as I can understand I should open up ''cmd'' and write..... ???....
Thank you for your help :-).

Yes open up "cmd". Then type ping Google and post your results.

What SHao is saying is that you open a CMD window (sounds like you figured out that part, but just in case, click the start button and type CMD in the search box and then select the CMD prompt shortcut that appears, or Click Start --> Run and type in CMD and hit [ENTER])

Then type in

Code:

ping www.google.com

or

Code:

ping www.yahoo.com

Thank you for all your help.
I took it to one of my dad´s empoyees and he fixed it. Seems like my dad had the same problem so it wasn´t hard for him.
It was Norton, it was blocking my browsers for no reason (seems like it´s some sort of glitch that Simantec has, dunno).
So, if anyone has the same problem, just try removing Norton, might work.

Thanks again!
