Odd IE7 Problem in XP

    I got a call from my uncle to say his internet was not working...

    So when i went in and had a look, i found that Internet Explorer 7 was showing up the dns error type page upon start up, but I could still connect to the internet via Firefox and check emails using Outlook express.

    I've tried:
    1. Pinging google.ie from cmd. I could ping perfectly
    2. Resolving google.ie to an ip and tried that. No luck
    3. Resetting IE7 settings. No luck
    4. Reinstalling IE7. No luck
    5. Disabling Norton IS. No luck
    6. Flushing the IP. No luck
    7. Checked to see if the host file was not corrupted. No luck
    8. Reseting the TCP/IP stack. No luck
    9. Installing IEtab in FF, and I could access the internet from FF using IE.
    The last point kinda stumped me tbh.

    Any ideas? :mad:

    First off is everything working fine in Firefox??

    Its only IE7 thats causing the problem?

    Did you try a windows update for patches for IE7?

    hi try reset the TCP/IP stack

    What you basically have to do is to type at a Command Prompt a command like the following:

    netsh int ip reset logfile.txt

    or if that does not work try repairing internet exploer

    IF the DNS has failed try using the IP of the site and see if that works, if it does its a setting in the Netopia Router.
