From: Blake on 7 May 2008 13:45 I boot up my XPSP2 machine and all is well - I can browse as normal. After a few minutes, I start getting connection timeouts (IE and Firefox). A reboot fixes the problem for a few minutes Here is the weird part - I can't browse via HTTP, but I can hit HTTPS sites without a problem. Ping works, IMAP/SMTP work, etc. I can resolve the sites, but can't see them via the browser. Can't visit a website via IP address either. If it were a config problem (local proxy, for example) it should be all the time, and not after some few minutes after bootup. Thoughts?

I think it was traced to a Cisco VPN Client that took a while to start up. If you have a VPN client, try un-installing it and see if the problem goes away. It appears that only your Port 80 is blocked. Since it occurs a few minutes after bootup, it's probably a late-starting program or service. Use msconfig (start->run->msconfig) to turn off blocks of startup programs / services, rebooting after each change until you find the offending program. HTH, John |
