Resurrecting an old tower which had/has XP. I could pull up MSN/Bing but not go anywhere else. After searching alot on my PC found a bunch of things to try but they didn't work. I got frustrated and since this was just a project machine and I didn't need any files, I did a complete reformat and reinstall of XP. This didn't fix the issue. I have tried almost everything I can find no matter how basic or seemingly complicated I could find on google searches related to it.
Well first since its a reformat and reinstall there are no anti virus or firewalls to turn off except the windows version, which is off.
Lan settings are correct with no proxy server box checked.
I have run many of the cmd functions like flushdns, the winsock ones, sfc /scannow, etc.
I have checked regedit for a few suggestions most of which weren't even there.
I have cleared all cookies, files, etc from ie...but there really shouldn't be any there anyway.
I have run hijackthis with nothing abnormal found that I can tell.
Drivers in Device manager show ok.
Ive tried to bring in a program to double check my drivers but it won't run on the system for some reason.
Its straight up XP no service packs as I can't get online to do the updates.
Everything points to port 80 being blocked somehow, but just can't figure it out. Im sure you folks will need more info that my brain is to frazzled to think of right now. Any help is appreciated.
