Hi!

Unfortuntely my http service does not start any more. this means that i can
still download mail, access ICQ or Skype, but i canncot view web pages.
Doing a repair installation also did not help.

I am using Win XP SP2. The problme occured after installing a new software
firewall. Uninstalling this firewall did not solve the problem.

Does anyone have clue about what I can do. A new system set-up is not really
an option for me right now.

It sounds as if you cannot connect to HTTP sites vrs the HTTP service itself
causing an issue.

Try these items:

Check your IEXPLORER tools > inet options> connections tab > LAN settings,
and see if there is anything set to use a proxy. If so remove these sttings.

Have you tried system rollback? Its a system tool.


whats the ipconfig looklike?

Thank you very much!!!! The software firewall must have somehow made an entry
to the proxy settings.
