Can’t access internet

by n4syth . Updated 20 years, 8 months ago

Computer: Toshiba Satellite 1400 Model PS140C-03D07P
OS: WinXP Home
Network adapter: D-Link DWL-G650
Internet Security: PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 — uninstalled

Set up this computer with wireless access a week ago. All was working great.
Customer used it for a few days with no problems then one morning was unable to access the internet….. after installing PC-cillin

Wireless connects to network — good signal
Am able to release and renew IP.
Can successfully Ping gateway and sites on internet but when try to access with IE or Firefox……. Website found. Waiting for reply………
The page could not be displayed.
Unable to access email.

The Hosts file has only the localhost 127.0.0.1
Have run winsockxpfix_1
Have reset TCP/IP using netsh
Have cleaned out temp files & cookies
Have cleaned registry…..

Have also made attempts with wired connection — no different…..
NO Firewalls.

Have also discovered that Regedit is missing. Anyone know how to reinstall? or is it possible to copy from another computer???

Anyone else got any ideas short of reloading….????
Further quirk… CD drive is broken and customer chose to replace with external, making reload of XP difficult/impossible….
