Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Discussion in 'Windows Vista' started by supergoalie, Sep 17, 2009.

    I'm new to Vista. I have just connected my new laptop with Vista to my
    home network (XP). No dramas.

    But when browsing the internet (IE7), certain websites won't load (eg
    Apple, Ninemsn, Microsoft). Eventually it displays "Internet Explorer
    can't display the webpage". When you diagnose connection problems - it
    finds no problem.

    I have tried turning off firewalls (Vista), uninstalling my AV (NOD32),
    disabling Vista's autotuning (which booted my brothers computer off the
    network, but did nothing to mine).

    I have tried to browse through Morzilla Firefox (but i can't load the
    website to download it!) and have tried disabling ADD ONs in IE. None
    of these change anything!

    Anymore suggestions?

    I suggest you connect the machine directly to the Internet connection
    without XP.

    If no problems that way, then you should go buy a NAT router that is
    Vista compliant and use it as the gateway for both the XP and Vista
    machines to the WAN (Wide Area Network)/Internet and LAN (Local Area
    Network) etworking between the two machines.

    A Windows machine should never be exposed as the gateway device to the
    Internet, as it's too attackable.

    A NAT router will provide the network infrastructure seamlessly and is
    better protection from the Internet.

    Hi,
    1. Try clearing the DNS Cache
    Start> Run> cmd [enter]
    ipconfig /flushdns
    Then clear the Temporary Internet Files and restart.

    2. Make sure that these sites aren't in the HOSTS file.
    To check the HOSTS file in Windows XP or Vista.
    Make sure that Windows is showing hidden files and is
    not hiding file extensions for known file types (Folder Options> View) then
    check for a HOSTS file at [C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc] Open the HOSTS
    file with notepad. If there are entries you wish to disable, you can put the
    pound sign (#) in front an entry to disable it. Then File> Save. Or you can
    rename the HOSTS file to HOSTS.OLD to disable it.

    3. With the warning that a reset will delete autocomplete data, such as
    passwords and you will have to reinstall or re-enable browser add-ons, work
    through this article:
    936213- How to optimize or reset Internet Explorer 7:

    data:

    Clearing the cache and checking the HOSTs to no avail.
    I can't access those links about reseting IE as they are microsoft
    pages!

    I ended up paying a smart person to come and check my network. They
    found that the problems was due to the Router Data Speed Setting and it
    is now fixed.

    Good work for recognizing that there are times when a professional is
    the way to go, like appendectomies and some computer problems :)

    Thanks Don,

    I can't do:
    1. Try clearing the DNS Cache
    Start> Run> cmd [enter]
    ipconfig /flushdns
    Then clear the Temporary Internet Files and restart.

    I get a strange message that says:
    "The requested operation requires elevation."
    Huh?
    Plain old ipconfig runs fine.

    I'm pretty sure that it is a setting in IE...which blocks ALL access to the
    TINYURL.COM site...it has since I got VISTA. Finally trying to solve the
    mystery.

    Thanks!
