>Windows firewall? is that active, if so turn it off.

HOW I KNOW IF THERE IS A WINDOWS FIREWALL ACTIVE?
I HAVE SERVICE PACK 1 AND I THINK IT DON'T HAVE FIREWALL PROGRAM.


>are there any other sites you cant get access too , or are they all microsoft >ones.


I allready try Yahoo, this site, AT&T, msn.com (works), t1msn.com.mx (works )
I think only hotmail and messenger and the windows update page (when i try to download the files that update the system) are the sites that don't work.

this is what the blank hosts file should contain: minus -start- -end-

-start-

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

-end-


I WILL TRY TO CREATE HOSTS FILE.

edit your internet explorer settings under connection, LAN settings check the box that says auto detect settings, and under the connection you use , same thing in its properties, auto detect

I'LL ALREADY DO THAT.

LOOK, MY FIRST OPTION IS NOT TO REINSTALL ALL, BECAUSE I NEED TO BACHUP ALL THE INFO, AND I HAVE HARDWARE INSTALLED, PERSONAL CONFIGURATIONS, PROGRAMS OF THE SCHOOL, IS NOT EASY, BUT IF I DONT HAVE ANOTHER OPTION I'LL DO IT... I THINK THERE ARE ANOTHER WAYS,,,
