Hi,

Temporary removal of the active firewall helps me with this issue.


Thanks and have a Great Day!

Hi Folks,

This is wrecking my head so I hope somebody out there has a quick-fix. I
spend a lot of time working with systems, setting them up from scratch,
tweaking, upgrading, configuring....the whole nine yards. I'm also MCSA
and MCSE certified which ain't helping me much in this regard!!!

Here's the problem;

Over a period of time (it tends to be a number of months)......Internet
functionality ceases to function. I just get the standard DNS error page
in the browser. Pinging any address times out. This is not PC specific
either, the same happens on a multitude of PC's with different H/W and
configs. There was a KB article at MS that suggested removing and
re-adding Windows Sockets 2 in the registry which I did try but to no
avail.

Up to now, I've had to resort to reinstalling the OS from scratch (a
repair has no impact either). This solves the issue but it's a serious
PITA.
