Corrupt TCP/IP

i am using the telkom adsl router to connect to the net and that is plug in directly into the other desktop. Which is plugged directly into an access point no router. Therefore i am using a dial up client. It is a wireless acces point belkin i think.

Excuse me if i am not a 100% in what i am saying don't know alot about routers.
 
Hi WoW
@Tibby Dude : The router does DNS forwarding, so using it (the linksys) as your default DNS server is normal behaviour for Linksys Routers.
@Wow : What happens if you run nslookup from the command prompt. Can you resolve DNS entries properly? Here is an example :


C:\>nslookup
Default Server: ppr-cache1-vif0.saix.net
Address: 196.25.255.34

> www.saix.net
Server: ppr-cache1-vif0.saix.net
Address: 196.25.255.34

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.saix.net
Address: 196.25.1.200

> www.cnn.com
Server: ppr-cache1-vif0.saix.net
Address: 196.25.255.34

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: cnn.com
Addresses: 64.236.16.116, 64.236.24.4, 64.236.24.12, 64.236.24.20
64.236.24.28, 64.236.16.20, 64.236.16.52, 64.236.16.84

If you run nslookup and your DNS is working properly, then try tracert and see if it reaches the server :

C:\>tracert www.saix.net

Tracing route to www.saix.net [196.25.1.200]

If this all works, then have a look at your PC. Dont reformat or do anything stupid until then!!!
Let me know the results...
Cheers-
 
tracert and nslookup worked giving correct results. This is so frustrating, could it just be my firefox and internet explorer?

OK, lets forget about the browser for a second. Can you telnet to www.saix.net on prt 80? you should get a response similar to this (and I havent posted the whole reponse ;) - this just checks that port 80 is indeed open outbound ):

Firefox does nothing at all, just a plain white screen. IE gives me the traditional "The page cannot be displyed" error.
 
eh, one other thing. i see you are capped. is the site you are trying to get to local?
 
Hi WoW

Last resort, reinstall windows xp ye :(

Its a very weird trojan/virus or what not we had once, couldnt remove it at all, tried everyone and had to do a reinstall :/
 
Yes i am but i am trying to access local sites eg absa, myadsl. I have no problem accessing them on this computer which is using the same adsl connection. unable to connect to www.saix.net port 80 on the desktop.

I can connect on the laptop but dont get the response u got
 
you should be able to connect from your desktop as well via telnet. I think you have a connectivity issue somewhere... You sure your PC AntiVirus software isnt blocking port 80?
I just posted a part of the html response from telnet, so dont worry about not getting the same response as me...

and if you put the IP address directly into the browser? In other words instread of typing in www.saix.net you type in 196.25.1.200?
Click to expand...

whem i do that i get the same error message. In the bottom left hand corner IE puts ".edu" then ".com" does some sort of search.
 
Eish. OK, its late and I am running outta ideas and whiskey :) PM if you dont come right bud and I will give you a call tomorrow and help you out over the phone. I is just toooo tired right now!

thank you amigo and sleep tight. My amstel was done long time ago, i think i drank faster the more frustrated i got.
 
Morning all, i have tried to telnet net www.saix.net on port 80 and get no connection. How can i rectify that?
 
check what if you are using SP2 ? and if any updates were performed lately. if so check if you are assigning the ip manually or obtaining automatically. if auto check if it says 'limited or no connectivity' which is a sp2 bug : KB884020. i notice if you have this bug and assign ip's you don't get the msg but dns will not work even though you can ping router/ip's etc. Worste case, do a system restore to when you believe it ws last working and see if it fixes itself
