    I am still having the same major problems with blocked access to common websites, removal tools, some downloads and windows updates, whatever findgala did to screw up the DNS resolution is still in there...

    i can ping some web addresses but not others - its extremely frustrating

    it still will not allow access to www.aol.com, www.microsoft.com, www.yahoo.com etc...

    i have tried some experiments with pinging these sites and their ip addresses and it literally blocks all of them and just times out, where as other sites that I CAN access work just fine (avg 26ms round trip time)

        How are you connected to the modem? Hardwire or wireless? Do you try re-setting the modem?

          its hardwired to the cable modem through a router

          no other computer has any problems with any of these sites - or any other problems connecting to the internet at all.

          bypassing the router and connecting directly to the modem makes no difference

          I have tried using the netsh command to reset the TCPIP stack, reinstalled the NIC driver, and practically everything else that i can think of - it just will not connect to some sites at all, strangely though it will intermittently connect to yahoo or google - i got this on my last test:
