Old HP/Compaq NX9040
Windows XP Professional SP2
IE8
Firefox
Just reinstalled OS & Drivers, as far as I can tell everything is working.
Activate/Verify Windows cannot access the internet
Windows Update cannot access the internet
IE8 can access anything on the site www.msn.com, including following links to other parts of MSN.com but nothing else. Any other site, e.g. Google, simply gets site unavailable. Links to other sites which are not www.msn.com/whatever fail as unreachable.
Other sites, including Google, can be successfully pinged
But !! Firefox works perfectly fine with no issue, accessing the internet / all sites as normal.
ipconfig seems fine
DNS cleared & redefined
Proxy settings cleared
Firewall turned off made no difference
Restricted sites cleared
IE Security settings backed off to bugger all
IE8 reset and reinstalled a couple of times
Nothing other than OS installed. No applications or anything. (other than Firefox)
Anybody got any ideas or pointers? I've run out of things to try.
