    XP mode: no http or https coming through WAN


    I installed Virtual PC and XP Mode again.
    XP can see my LAN computers, and can access http on a LAN addresses.

    It can ping WAN, it can do Windows Update, but it can not access external HTTP, HTTPS.

    XP Firewall is off.
    Host firewall is off as well, but no effect.
    It's now in bridge mode (host's network card), and I've also tried NAT, no difference.

    What can I do?

    That shows you get out ok and shows DNS is working so what error do you get have you tried other browsers the problem is XP only runs old browsers which won't work on some sites can you reach any site?

    Indeed!
    I kept trying my 'usual' websites, but after your comment I could access mozilla and download Firefox, which works!
    Something is broken with HTTPS in IE somehow.

    Years ago I had a friend who had XP, and he had huge problems trying to surf with IE, so much so that I couldn't even download Firefox from his computer. I went to another computer and copied Firefox to a CD, then installed it from the CD on my friend's computer. After I did that, he was able to surf the web with no problems when he used the Firefox that I installed.

    I never could figure out why he couldn't surf with IE; I suspected malware, but virus scans revealed nothing.
