    Well, I've been living with this problem for a couple of months now and I'm really starting to pull my hair out with it. I have a network at home comprised of 2 computers, a desktop and a laptop.
    The desktop is my work computer and as that I need it daily for my job and also require internet as well. My problem is that although my internet is connected fine, I still don't have "full" access to it on my desktop. It works perfectly on my laptop however.

    When I go to internet explorer, I get the page cannot be displayed message every time. When I use Firefox on the other hand it says "Done" at the bottom left of the page and doesn't even try to load anything at all. If I persistently command it to load the page it does load after 20 or so tries, but not 100%, as there are graphics and other parts missing to the webpage.

    I've tried things such as Winsockxp fix. This makes my connection come back for a few minutes after I restart but after that it stops again. I've scanned with AdAware, Avast, Spybot S&D, and even tried Registry Mechanic, all came up with a few things detected first, but after cleaning still no connection.

    Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated because as of lately I have gotten barely any work done at all. I'll provide any information anyone needs.

    Thanks

    JeffyR - Welcome to the Board :)

    As you have the same problems in both IE and Firefox it is unlikely to be a problem with either of the browsers per se, but a common, underlying cause.

    Nevertheless some possible solutions here for IE ....

    Error message when you try to access a Web site in Internet Explorer: "Page Cannot Be Displayed "

    I suggest you download and run Hijack This and post a log .....

    Please download HijackThis through Quicklinks in my signature and save it to a folder on your hard drive, say C:\HJT - not to the Desktop or a temporary location. When entries are fixed with HJT a backup is made to the folder from which HJT is run and this must be in a permanent location.

    Open the folder in which you placed HJT and double click on hijackthis.exe and select Scan and save a log file - this will be saved in the folder from which you ran HJT - post the log here.

    I will then move your thread to the Removing Spyware & Viruses forum.
