Hi again,


A  Dell computer running windows XP sp3-

IE 8 will on many web pages say diagnose internet connection.

I can do a web search and get to many sites, but most links as well as many sites throw up this message.  This problem does not happen in firefox at all.

I have run Spybot Search and Destroy,  combo Fix, released everything with ipconfig, used net sh  int ip reset,  used netsh winsock reset, re installed IE 8, made sure  all the ssh and ftp and https were accepted by IE.  Combofix scarily deleted  from C:\windows\msi31uninstall_kn89380v2$\reg 00013 though 116 a few msi.dll in that folder  and scarily a config.dat a from system 32, and from c:\windows a unstas2.exe, wmsysprx.prx.

My XP  Network Diagnostics  says it culd not make https connection and ftp connections--error 12031 connecting to FTP.microsoft<ftp://FTP.microsoft> .com and https error 12029 connecting to passport.net


As for clicking on windows updates this machine and a different xp machine that is an e-machine both say server internal error.  This other machine is beginning to display the same thing once it was moved from another building--This other machine is fine on dial up but not the LAN--It will not connect to UPS via Lan yet it does via dialup.


Any thought?
