Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Interesting
He couldn't ping those sites either, and John also tried pinging both those sites and couldn't ping them. Is that significant, Peter?

Interestingly enough though, we can telnet to IWT and he can't, despite neither of us being able to ping IWT either. But Greg explained most of why that was, I think.

He asked if it could be a SP2 issue, he just installed Service Pack 2, and turned off the SP2 Firewall and is using Sygate Personal Firewall instead.

Could SP2 have added some sort of packet limitation to foil P2P networks, and maybe be trying to limit the web packets? He is not currently running a P2P file sharing program and he scanned for viruses, trojans, spyware, aware and nothing was detected. and all his AV programs are up to date.

He's also tried several browsers to see if one of them was the problem, but it wasn't.

We're beginning to think it's a router at the ISP and he'll have to call them to fix that, I guess. He's gonna be out of town for a week though, so maybe it will fix itself? (We can hope).

Thanks for all the help here, guys. Hopefully he'll get it figured out.

New XPSP2 could nobble that, yar.
The builtin XP firewall is perfectly sufficient for home users, given that I believe that "personal firewalls" are a load of toss anyway.

I'd recommend NOT using anything with "Sygate" written on it.

Does any other computer work on this connection?

New I asked him
If he doesn't get it before he leaves, I'll have an answer when he gets back.

Thanks Peter.

Just curious, since I'm gonna have to use SP2 pack sometime, have they worked out any of the bugs on it yet, or is it still screwing things up everywhere?

New Works For Me.
And yet a friend who put it on his Athlon64 laptop couldn't boot in normal mode after that; he had to start in Safe mode and remove it.

Your mileage may vary.

New Thanks for the advice
Still not sure when we're gonna get it, but John wants it on a CD, so he's getting it directly from them or something like that.

I'm calling it a night, owls are tired.

Thanks for all the help here.

New XPSP2 is not the problem
neither is Sygate. Juno works, my ISP doesn't. My ISP just issued a warning about XP SP2 causing a disruption in their service and causing some Internet apps to fail to connect, yet all works fine with Juno. Problem is Juno is limited as it is free and it has adware and a very slow connection with priority to paying customers so I get bumped off.

The problem seems to be with my crappy ISP at this point.

True maybe, but even your ISP says the SP2 is causing THEM problems. I recommend you go to the MS site, because it's causing more problems than you might realize. Hopefully between that and your ISP it will get fixed.
