Check your PAT setting - should be:
Index - 1
Protocol - TCP
Interface - ATM1
Service Name - HTTP
Port Number - 80
Server IP Address - 202.103.24.68
Server Port Number - 80
If all of this is correct, then there must be something wrong with your browser, is all I can think of...

Try implementing a browse as a telnet
simply do this
pull up a dos window
1.
telnet www.google.com 80
(This lets you know that you are able to open a socket)
if not you will get connection refused
type
2.
get /index.html

At least at this point you will know whether it is a routing issue or a browser problem

i.e. if 1 fails it is a routing problem chat with your ISP

Hi People
Thanks for the help.I finally found out what it was.The XP machine had a virus that blocked everything when it was on the net work.It was obviously a virus that Trend house call and AVG couldnt find.I have formated the machine and all is fine.I dont know what the virus was and would like to warn everyone that something might happen to you like this so be prepared,it sold me for 4 days,and all cause of a virus that couldnt be detected.
