Web Pages Won't Open with Internet Explorer

[koverber]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with my browser not being able to open various web pages. For example, I cannot browse to the Microsoft home page, nor can I connect to www.weather.com (http://www.weather.com), obviously a common site that I've had no problem connecting to in the past.

I've updated my browser, run Spybot S&D, Adaware and HijackThis. I was reading some of the other threads on this site that are similar. I saw one suggestion to open a command window and run "ipconfig /flushdns". I tried this and when I did I got the following response:

Could not flush the DNS resolver Cache: Function failed during execution

My kids' PC on my home network also has this problem.

I tried adding my HijackThis output file to this post, but I exceeded 20K characters! I suppose I can reply to my own post and post it in chunks.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated!

I solved my own problem...it's the rabbit's fault. I never would have guessed this, but in browsing other sites, I found a case of someone who had a similar problem, and someone suggested checking the wires between the PC and the router.

Sure enough, we have a rabbit, and several weeks ago my kids called me to tell me they had lost the internet connection. I looked at the cables and found that our pet rabbit had gotten behind my office desk and munched on many of the cables connected to my PC. I thought I had found all of the damaged cables and replaced them, as I was able to restore the internet connection.

On closer inspection today, I found additional cables that had been nicked. I replaced the ethernet cables (CAT 5 Patch cables) between the PC and the router and between the router and the DSL modem, and voila! Web sites that I couldn't connect to previously I could now connect to with no problem.

I wouldn't have expected a damaged cable problem to give this kind of behavior, where I could connect to some web sites and not to others. I'm no TCP IP, Router, DSL Modem expert, so I can't explain the relationship between the damaged cable and not being able to connect to certain web sites... crazy. Maybe someone else can explain it.

I thought I would reply (yet again) to this thread for the benefit of anyone looking at it. The problem with not being able to browse to certain popular web sites (www.weather.com (http://www.weather.com), www.microsoft.com (http://www.microsoft.com)) returned after having been "fixed" for about a week, so the problem was not damaged cables after all.

I bypassed the router and I had no problem connecting to these sites. I then updated the firmware for the Linksys WRT54G v1.1 router to the latest available from the Linksys web site, and the problem seems to be fixed. If the problem returns I will post again; if not, the moral of the story is "update the router firmware".
