Hi
I am from South African, just in case you think this question is weird, things move slow here :P
My problem, is they cant browse the internet.
A friend of mine has 3 computers in his office, none of them connected with any network cable. Thus they completely stand alone
All 3 has there own modems and all 3 use the same dialup account, they cant be connected at the same time, cause they all use the same telephone line to connect thus only one can be online at a time. They don’t share files so it’s not like a virus could have got on the other 2 if one was connected, beside the one work always and was only turn on after the problem on the other two to see if it work on it. And all 3 has up 2 date Norton Antivirus running on them. No new programs have been added for at least the last 5 months.
The dialup connection works it establishes the connection, I can download and send mail in outlook and I can even update the antivirus. I can go into command prompt and even ping some websites etc, thus everything is saying the internet works. However if I open Internet explore (even tried Firefox just in case there was a problem with the internet explorer) it just doesn’t work. It says at the bottom website found, waiting for reply but it just stays on that it load like 5 little loading bars at the bottom of internet explorer and stays there. It eventually comes up with a “Read Error (104) connection reset be peer”.
I don’t know what else to do anymore I tried uninstalling the antivirus, no change, was on the phone with the ISP they can’t give me a reason either. The ISP even test the account to see if it works correctly and it did how ever I can get it to work on 3 different computers. I tried a different modem as well, no luck, reset internet setting to default, cleared all history and cookies etc.
2 of the computers have XP Home on and One has Professional on it.
What else can I do?
Please help!!!!
