Okay, here is a good one....
I just finished building a custom PC over the weekend. Got all the hardware, BIOS, OS, and applications set up and did the updates.
Oddly enough, Sunday Internet Explorer quit accessing the internet, as did Media Player. MSN explorer works fine, as does Mozilla. I have checked my Services, Internet Options, Security settings, just about everthing I can think of to no avail. Dreamweaver seems to have an issue logging in to my site as well using FTP....so I am thinking there is a setting or service somewhere that is goofed but I am running out of places to look.
Any ideas what may have gone awry? It is not a huge deal....but it is rather annoying when you have programs that pull up IE by default and you can't connect.
BTW - It shows the can't find server screen on both apps. And yes, I tried the detect network settings option.

Firewall software maybe? Perhaps if you have Norton Personal Firewall installed you need to set up rules for all of your applications. That could be the only reason I could think of off the top of my head of why some applications have www access while others don't.
And under Internet Options ---> Connections --> LAN Settings, Detect Settings Automatically is checked?

hmm.. tough one. well from what i read thsi is what i can tell.
if messenger runs and your default browser is IE that means that msn runs on IE's settings. so i dont think there is anything wrong with your settings.
i would set some other browser on default so that programs use its settings instead.
or i would simply do a roll back if your on a xp till before sunday.

eek good luck!! Try the Mozilla or Opera browsers if you're going to install anything though. They're very good. Especially Opera.

Well, tried Netscape - which can't even download the enitire setup because it's attempting via FTP.
Tried NEOPLANET - installed but can't connect.
Same with Opera.
So here is the tally:
______________________________________________
Netscape : NO
IE 6 : NO
Mozilla : YES
MSN explorer : YES
DreamWeaver : NO
Coffee FTP : NO
NeoPlanet : NO
MSN messenger : YES
Opera : NO
Chess Rally (Online Rally Rooms) : NO
So based on which ones conenct and which ones don't - there may be a port issue(?)
Anyone see a pattern that I am not?
