SP1 Networking problem
I have installed [4/5/2011] Windows 7 SP1 final (via windows update) on an Acer
Aspire 1410-8414 notebook, with Windows 7 home premium installed.
Now no browser [IE, FF or Chrome] will load any website. The computer
connects to the internet, and media players will open streaming net
radio and tv stations without a problem, and program updating works
too; so it is just a browser issue.
The strange thing is that the embeded web browser within Winamp does
function properly, so only stand-alone browsers won't load.
What I have done:
1] In Control Pannel>AdminTools>Services: computer browser and all
relevant IP services are started and running properly.
2] In PC Tools firewall: unrestricted in/out privilages are allowed for
all 3 browsers, and network status is "active".
3] There is no apparent conflict with Avast6 web or network shields.
4] I have reset/refreshed: winsock,ipv4,ipv6 and flushed dns.
I can't think of anything else to do. I don't want to have to
uninstall SP1 to be able to get online. Any ideas? Thanks.
