From: brush-head on 4 Mar 2010 16:37 Hi I have a couple of machines that when I try to access an nww page, gets the site couldn't be found message from the browser - which is IE7 & this also happens in the latest version of Firefox. Anyone got any ideas? It's not DNS. Has to be something local to the PC because the same user profile on a different machine has no problems. Many thanks
From: Jack-MVP on 4 Mar 2010 18:02 Hi Check the computers capacity to connect to the Router's menus to make sure that you have a vaild Network connection. To check each computer Network capacity you can use this page, http"//www.ezlan.net/debug.html Jack (MS, MVP- Networking).

From: Jack [MVP-Networking] on 4 Mar 2010 18:05 Hi First you have to make sure that the computers have a valid connection to the Router. Try to access the Router's menu from each computer through the browser. You can check each computer's network configuration with the help of this page, http://www.ezlan.net/debug.html If the network connection is valid then this might help, http://www.ezlan.net/clean.html#refreshnet Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).

From: Hackwood on 5 Mar 2010 05:51 Thanks Jack - normal web browsing not an issue (although I did check things out via your post just in case I'd missed the blindingly obvious). These nww urls' are secure pages not visible over the internet & hosted within the NHS N3 private network in the UK. What I'm looking for is other areas within XP that might affect access e.g. I checked the hosts file on a PC that was working OK & compared with a non-working one was missing an entry for the local machine ie 127.0.0.1 localhost. But updating that on the non working one had no effect. I've scanned for malware etc & root kits just in case, but all is clean. I think in the end this will be something small & buried away somewhere & I'll be gob-smacked when I find out what is. many thanks for your post though - that site is a useful aid for newbies & for reminding oldies to check the basics. -- Silver haired one in darkest North Hampshire, UK "Jack [MVP-Networking]" wrote: > Hi > First you have to make sure that the computers have a valid connection to > the Router. > Try to access the Router's menu from each computer through the browser. > You can check each computer's network configuration with the help of this > page, http://www.ezlan.net/debug.html > If the network connection is valid then this might help, > http://www.ezlan.net/clean.html#refreshnet > Jack (MS, MVP-Networking). > > "brush-head" <sweeping(a)talkyourlegsoff.net> wrote in message > news:%23KDHrL%23uKHA.4908(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > > Hi I have a couple of machines that when I try to access an nww page, gets > > the site couldn't be found message from the browser - which is IE7 & this > > also happens in the latest version of Firefox.
