why i cant trace any of the microsoft site

yeah

is [ipv6] is blank

i cant see it from network properties only the ipv4

here it is the actual text in notepad name "HOST"


-------------------------------------------------------
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost #[IPv6]

66.98.148.65 auto.search.msn.com
66.98.148.65 auto.search.msn.es
---------------------------------------------------

I would make a copy of that hosts file (just in case) and then get rid of the last two lines in there:

66.98.148.65 auto.search.msn.com
66.98.148.65 auto.search.msn.es

That is, unless you put them there yourself. I cannot confirm those addresses are really good. So remove them, reboot, and retry getting to MS sites.

If it still doesn't work:

Copy and paste these lines in Notepad:

@Echo on
pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -h -s -r hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
attrib +r +h +s hosts
popd
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset all
netsh int ip reset all
shutdown -r -t 1
del %0

Save as flush.bat to your desktop. Right click on the flush.bat file to run it as Administrator.

Your computer will reboot itself.

Retry after the restart.

it makes me ouch.. i thought it was just a setting now im sure that was too serious .

thx i will do it ASAP
