Symantec- does it have worm protection? If so, try disabling it. The test continues...

Didn't know the 802.11a stood for audio!!! The test continues...

Uncheck the IPv6 in the network properties and try it again- some DNS servers do not use IPv6. Ran across this with a few XP machines that somehow got IPv6 on them and had the same results, so deleted the IPv6 (can only uncheck in Vista without reg editing) and was back to surfing. The test...

This is a strange problem I haven't run across before. Three of our 80+ computers running XP Pro started up one morning with "corrupted user account" and could not log on to the network. User 1 was using Outlook Express with Office 2000 and System Restore did not fix so copied corrupted account...

My work computer running XP Pro has two video cards: Primary is an HIS Radeon X1650PRO 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X, dual output with two 19" WXGA ViewSonic monitors, the second is an ancient pci ATI video card (2200 I believe) with ATI drivers. Tried many different older cards- Nvidia, Matrox...

Tried the update- downloaded thru Widows Update, installed, during restart it tried to finish, aborted and returned to original- a total of 2.5 hours! Everything is the same as before, will try again after doing ALL the driver updates from my manufacturer. The test continues...

http://cypherix.com/index.htm 25MB free, 2.5GB for $30, etc. Works great, also allows for encrypted files sent through email. Don't know if this is what you are looking for, try the free one and list the drive as a shared folder to see if it is accessed across the network. The test continues...

wahnula- I did fix a motherboard once, obvious capacitor burned out (looked different than the others). Ordered a new one from RadioShack for less than two bucks and soldered it in, fixed! Oh, and I fixed a mother broad once also, but that's a different story... The test continues...

Look in your network settings and see if IPv6 is installed. If so, try unchecking the box and see if it resolves the issue. IPv6 apparently has a 1 minute lag before giving up and reverting to IPv4. The test continues...

If your modem has natting, there should be a logfile showing all blocked ip's. THen use a service such as www.arin.net/whois/ to backtrace the source. The test continues...

Joey, This system worked up to the point where I shut it down and it installed updates before actually shutting down. I did a system restore up to the point of after installation of sp2, uninstalled video drivers, and removed those Windows updates that I could (add/remove said 2 of them could...

This is the situation: Dell Dimension 2400, BIOS updated, fresh install of XP Home with new hard drive, all windows updates. Installed AVG andtivirus, upgraded Java, installed Adobe Reader 8, setup Outlook Express, installed backup OE mail and address book. Rebooted, more windows updates, as we...
