| Guest | Can't connect to internet with Internet Explorer I just upgraded from Windows XP Pro to Vista Ultimate. When I run Internet Explorer, or any other program that tries to connect to a www page, it fails. When I click on the diagnose option on the resulting error page, I get this message "www.msn.com is not set up to establish a connection on port "World Wide Web service (HTTP) with this computer." I tried all of the repairs listed on the resulting help page which is very basic. I also became familiar with how Vista appears to handle networking and internet access. I compared my ipconfig listing with ones I found in various help blogs or sites and it appears it is connected ok. I get email ok, although I had to do a few minor repairs. I can't find any mention of the error on Microsft or the listing here. Any suggestions? |

| Guest | Re: Can't connect to internet with Internet Explorer Thanks, Robert. Norton 360 was the culprit. I removed it and the Norton update program and IE worked immediately. I am also finding some of the programs I would normally use a lot have to be reinstalled to work properly. "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote: Quote: > It may be a security software.
