I have a computer that is having internet issues. When I try and access a page, I get the "Page cannot be displayed" error. This happens whether I try and access the page via hostname or by IP.
If I open up a command prompt and ping a web address (google.com for instance), I get a reply and all looks well. So I know I am resolving the DNS and I am getting out of the gateway. When I check the firewall logs on the ISP's gateway (I work for the ISP), I can see the syn requests traversing out to the net. So not only is my connection working, but it is getting out to the internet.
So in short, I know my local connection settings are correct, I know the DNS settings are fine, I know my port 80 traffic is hitting the net, but I'm not able to form a connection. Firewall settings (ISP and local) are set to allow all traffic over all ports, so nothing is being blocked.
I've researched a little and saw something about a corruption of winsock doing it, but this computer is brand new and I haven't installed or removed any software. It's an XP box with IE 6.
Any ideas? This has me seriously stumped
