Page cannot be displayed

[gautamzone]

Hi friends,

I get a "Page cannot be displayed message". The following is the configuration that I have.

Configuration: Broadband - Win XP SP2 Standalone computer connected to modem

1. tried ip release and renew. Got error message. Unable to contact DHCP server
2. Restarted the dhcp services
3. Power cycling of modem
4. Clean boot
5. Safe mode with networking
6. Deleted Winsock key, Reinstalled TCP/IP
7. Uninstalled firewall (NIS)
8. Created new connection
9. Reinstalled network adapter
10. Tried ipconfig /flushdns
11. Uninstalled SP2
12. Disabled APIPA in registry
13. Got valid IP address 69.158.131.153
14. Tried connecting to Inet. Still page cannot be displayed
15. Tried netsh command
16. Tried registering dll files
17. Tried renaming hosts file

Would be really very helpful if somebody could help me with this. I would prefer doing something apart from a format and reinstall.

Thanks a lot for your time and attention
Regards
Gautam

"Page cannot be displayed message" when going where?

I'm confused... why are you getting a valid IP address from an ISP in Canada; since you are connecting from India - I assume. Please be clear on what you are trying to connect to, and how the problems started .. for example, what sort of broadband connection are you on? Cable? DSL? When did this issue start, I see a bunch of things you've tried, but it would be helpful to know when the issue started .. I mean, your issues with the firewall and SP2 that you removed, are we to assume that the problems started after you installed SP2?

seeing that you have done just about everything. the only think i can think of is that your DNS servers may not be set up correctly. i notice you have broadband, but is it dhcp, static ip, PPPoE? I know on some PPPoE DSL connections i have worked on, they required certain DNS servers to work properly. if you have a valid ip, that is the only thing that pops into my head at the moment.

maybe you isp can help you out.

This sounds very similar to what happened to me a while back. Plain & simple...mine was a "Browser Hi-Jack"...even though I run 2 anti-spyware proggies...it wasn't until I posted a "Hi-Jack this" log here, that some experts here found a bunch of things wrong, & told me which "entries" to delete...that fixed it.
