Hi.
have a domain under NT4sp6. Evrything works ok.
RAS is through IPCOP and modem.
Everybody can access Inet, mail etc by default gateway to IPCOP PC.
LAN is mixed, NT,w2k,98,XP, and all work well.
Everything works, but not on a single w2k PC.
Nothing seems different, tracert works ok so does DNS (tracert any www address gives correct resolution and routing).
Just Iexplore can't connect. Name is resolved, eventual message from https is sent, but no connection. The same applies to any service that uses http,ftp,telnet etc.
No intentional filtering exists.
ftp responds "inexistent network !!".
Even local http's (VNC, IPCOP remote admin etc) don't work, so problem is probably protocol or port filtering, but where ?
Thank you. MIke

Have you tried deleting the TCP/IP protocols and re-installing them?

Just a thought.

I haven't tried this with Win2K but it was a common event with 95 installations.

Open up IE and go to Tools>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings. Make sure that at least one of the options there is checked off. If Proxy Server is checked, make sure that all the options are correct. Normally, you can just check off Automatically... and IE will find it's own way.

Hope this helps.

Make sure by some chance that box is not running a software firewall. One day I almost pulled my hair out trying to figure out why I could not get a Win2K box to connect to anything. Zone Alarm was running but did not show up in the system tray. I had to stop the service manually and everything was fine.
