What are the verbatim error messages? e.g. Network Error: Connection Reset By Peer?

Also have you tried turning off PeerGuardian?

the message that i get now says connection reset and thats it it dosent say by peer or anything and for peer guardian i removed it completly but nothing.

well now when i try web sites it just says done at the bottom but the site is blank

You reinstalled XP but the same issue occurs?

What is your exact connection configuration? Network etc.?

You say only certain pages? Always the same pages? Is this just a few pages?

thank you for the help btw
im using wifi connectionall my security things are set to medium i looked at the links and it all refered to ie however my problem is with both ie6 and firefox as far as the websites i cant acces its always the same sites and is all the time

So we can eliminate IE as the source. Can we eliminate XP? Same issue before & after a reinstall? Is this correct?

Somewhere there must be a block listing these sites.

Have you tried using another account/ user?

What security software are you running at this time? Could the block be in those settings?

Are you part of a network? If so can other computers access these sites? Is there a blocking mechanism at the router/ Access Point level?

correct it was happening before and after the re-instal i havent tried another user i could make one and then try and see what happens as far as security software i have zone alarm pro trial version and it will ask permission ill say yes and it still wont go on but then again it wouldnt go on before i installed za then i have the windows xp firewall but za said it turned it off as far as a network im not apart of one i had a tech out here from my isp and he said it wasnt coming from them

More searching... The one thread mentions active content pages being the issue & also the ipconfig tool. Also it raises the question: Did you install SP2? Can you get to Windows Update? If not you can download SP2 here:
