Try to connect your desktop straight to the modem, bypassing router.

Tried vonnecting directly, sorry it did not work.

This is really bothering me, why I can not connect to that web site?

Turn off your computer.
Disconnect modem from power source. Wait 1 minute.
Reconnect.
Restart computer.

Some one just told me that they get some site in Canada when they go to www.insurance.ca.gov

Some one told me they can log in to the site but can not ping that site

Some one told me they can log in to the site but can not ping that site

Yes, I can't ping it. I can connect.

We tried so many solutions, that I'm out of options.
My best guess is, that Norton screwed something up in registry, but I can't see any way to find out what.

Try this: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html

If it doesn't work, I recommend XP repair install.

[bombaykid]

Tried this: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html

But did not work.

I do XP repair install.


Let me conform the process:

Put CD in Drive and boot from it. and follow the process, is this ok

[Broni]

Yes.

[bombaykid]

Repaired XP operating systems, took one hour.

No change, same problem, no connection to www,insurance.ca.gov

may be should reinstall XP rathere then repair?  what is your opinion.

I am ready to make all the changes except formating H/D (lots of work + I do not have all the drivers I need).

[Broni]

Yep. Try to reinstall over the top. You may want to backup your documents, though.

[bombaykid]

I reinstalled XP.
Luckyly it did not delete old version.
New XP does not have any software install. Is there any way I can transfer all my installed software from previous verson to new version XP?

[Broni]

I reinstalled XP.
Luckyly it did not delete old version.

I don't understand. Did you install new version in different directory?

[bombaykid]

I wanted to use the same directory but it gave me error messege, not enough room, so I click next choice and it created new directory, now I have two operating systems,one new verson and one old verson.
when I click on new, there is no sofyware installed, but the old one is still same, right now I am using old XP to communicat with you.

What should I do. I am not expert so I make all these misteks,

[Broni]

Yeah, we have a problem here. Since you installed new Windows in different directory, all your software is tied up to old installation.
I'm affraid, you'll have to start a new topic about how to remove double Windows installation, because I've never dealt with this problem.
