hi
a friend of mine has a problem with his internet connection. he can login in yahoo and msn messenger, can use p2p programs for downloads, but cannot open any site, neither in FF not in IE 7. but the sites open fine when he uses the same connection on his laptop. i told him to run spy/adware scans, virus scans, reinstalling drivers, even windows format didnt help. can someone help here?
thanks

did he check his modem settings?

yeah he checked his settings, they seem to be all fine. also since its running on his laptop

I asked my friend, this's what he said: 'UDP or TCp didnt work, is he behind a rounter ?'

i dont think that hes behind a router, but i will confirm from him and tell u in some time.

Tell him to delete 'UDP or TCp from his network settings.  Is he working offline by anychance?

no, he aent working offline. actually, he doesnt get any kind of error messege. sites just dont open, the loading bar is stuck at two parts. ill tell him to delete the UDP and TCP, tomorrow tho, its pretty late at night here.

Could he have invalid proxy server settings?
