Re: Win XPPro Service pack III no internet connectivity

No, the files are from the old site, after I changed things the way I described. There is still no connectivity there. The reason I am keen on keeping the site is that it has all that software I put on it, and relying on the new site implies reinstalling all that software and transferring the files....

Re: Win XPPro Service pack III no internet connectivity

Thank you for your reply. A couple of pieces of information you have provided were useful, especially about IE and Firefox working in a limited or slower fashion. The Zip files I made are current and are not from before I made the changes I had mentioned above. Please tell me if there is anything I ...

Re: Win XPPro Service pack III no internet connectivity

1) I have attached two zip files from the current state. Let me explain some changes that I have made since yesterday. After I read my previous postings, I decided that the Service pack III is what caused the connectivity and I have uninstalled it. The results are not much better. I have removed all...

I can't remember what happened as a sequel to the last query I made. But when I recently opened the XP browser, (It still has Service Pack III) I couldn't connect to the internet. And I worked on changing settings and all that. And just now after I reviewed the previous postings, I pinged 8.8.8.8, a...

Re: Win XPPro Service pack III no internet connectivity

Thank you for your reply. First, please understand that it was working fine before I installed Service Pack 3. "Look for firewalls, proxies, antivirus filters, web-cleaning applications, redirectors, etc." Whatever these are must have been there before. No? Could you please give me instruc...

Re: Win XPPro Service pack III no internet connectivity

I tried once again to connect to Providentcu.org. In the status bar it was saying "Connected to 7217018.collect.igodigital.com", and then it gets stuck there. Is this some kind of virus?

Re: Releasing the keyboard with host key

I removed all the USB filters, including the one for the keyboard and reopened the guest XP. The keyboard doesn't work again in the host.
