What are you pinging? ibm.com or www.ibm.com? It makes a difference.

Try a different browser. It sounds as if IE has some malware connected to it. I had something similar on a client PC that took me quite a while ot locate. Since it only happens when using IE and you can resolve DNS names via ping, I'd suspect some malicious BHO has been installed.

You could just use netstat with the appropriate switches, but there is also Port Reporter from Microsoft. http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?id=837243 Is that what you're looking for?

We are working on a GPO to lock down a system so that the user can only launch one application. Unfortunately, we can't run the app as the shell because it bombs out (vendor has no idea why) We also have to run the application with the user logged in as a local administrator (once again, vendor...

I am becoming more and more displeased with MS's EFS system. They state there is a way to do this recovery, but I can't figure out how to. This user encrypted his files on his own without our knowledge, but that should not be an issue in an AD environment. This, combined with the way they broke...

I have a user who's laptop drive went bad. We can access the file system by plugging into another PC, but the My Doc's folder is encrypted. How do I recover them? It is a domain account and I am a domain admin, but I can't figure out how to import the private key to do the decryption. Article...

I ended up deleting all files in the folder identifed by the OutlookSecureTempFolder which is located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security This could be different for each client so you will need to look at the value that is there.

I have someone who can not open an xls attachment in an email. It is only one file with a specific file name. If I send the file renamed, but still with an xls extension, it opens fine. The error message indicates a permissions problem, but no other attachments, excel or otherwise, have this...

This issue was fixed with this patch from MS: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?amp;amp;displaylang=en&familyid=254EB128-5053-48A7-8526-BD38215C74B2&displaylang=en Thanks for your help, though.

Thanks! We'll give this a shot and post with the results.

I have a user that can't type data into a form on a web page. He is able to copy and paste into the same fields, though. Typing doesn't do anything, though. The cursor just sits there and blinks. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I think I've seen it before, but I can't remember what I had to...

Binding order? Open up Network Connections, then choose advanced settings from the Advanced menu.

We have an AD 2003 environment here and are in the process of migrating our desktops from 98 to XP. To do it, we reset the user's passwords and migrate the data from the old PC to the new PC with thier profile already set up which requires us to change thier password and log in as them. I have...

SUS doesn't work like Windows Update. It works in the background so there is no web page to vist for updates. The only web page you can access is the administrative SUS page. Of course, that makes it frustrating while you wait to see if the automated updates work.
