I recently installed a new server in my house. I made it a duplicate of my old one. (except I installed winxp-sp2) Now when you are browsing the internet you get random (page cannot be displayed) even when you try to refresh....tho you close the browser an reopen it poof if will show up then.....(rather annoying) this problem effects all 12 of my home systems now....even pages like yahoo home page......The lan side of things is running totally awesome....
So I am at a loss..... I have removed an re-installed all network drivers too...
Any ideas?

Its hard to say what the problem may be mana. What sort of network setup do you have? Are you on a cable, dsl, dialup connection? Do you use a router or ICS to share the connection? Do any of these computers run firewalls? Give us a bit on info and we might be able to better help you find a fix.

OK.....here is the setup......
Standard Linksys Cable modem coming into server via cat-5 network cable....The server is running winxp-sp2 with a firewall on the internet connection(which is shared to the lan) an a firewall on the lan connection.......(that is the only difference between the two servers - I didn't firewall the lan side on the old server) tho it will not let me disable it without disabling the internet firewall too)......then from the server it goes to a 16 port auto-hub(linksys).....after that two other main lines goto 2 more hubs - one a 8 port(trend) an the other a 12 port (cnet)......None of the other systems have a firewall...an all are running winxp..........Hope that helps....it even did that the page cannot display when I tried to submit this reply....
