Internet sites ping in Windows XP but they don't open in browser.?

Just because you can PING an IP address doesn't mean that there's a web server behind that address. There are plenty of addresses that will respond to PING but will not serve web pages.

check your netowork connections and make sure they are set, also check your browsers security and you may need to update it

Internet explorer--->tools-->internet option--->advanced-->\n\nscroll down to check if SSL and TSL options are checked\n\nand make sure you have IE 6.0\n\ndisable firewall and other security things, to check if they cause any problem

Check the security setting of the browser. Check if the cookie is disabled or ActiveX code disabled. \n\nOr its the case when firewall of Windows XP and Firewall of Internet Security both are enabled.

That's odd. Make sure your server is running.  Also, make sure your IIS is configured right.  And make sure that the connection to that computer is solid.  I know that I had probelms with a server with a funky connection.

Hi probalby no help but I can get to www.ezboard.com fine. I would suggest maybe a few things that are pretty basic and you may have already tried. First do you use a proxy to access the internet. From Internet Explorer go Tools, Internet Options, then on the connection tabs then look at the LAN settings (if you are on Wirless DSL). If there is anything in there then your computer is going through a proxy before reaching the internet. The issue could be caused by that.\n\nAlternatively sometimes ISP's will block an IP range if they suddenly get loads of spam, but it can be a nightmare trying to talk to someone from most ISP's that will look into it.\n\nTwo other things you can do... if you can get to your command prompt (Dos Prompt) normally under start menu, accesories.\n\nType ping www.ezboard.com \nit will then try to send packets to the server - if this works and comes back with response times it may not be your ISP after all but something in your browser.\n\nWhen you ping it it will say something like pinging www.ezboard.com (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) where the number in the brackets is the IP address of the server.\n\nIf that works try typin tracert nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn is the number in brackets from your ping. This will then show all the steps the packet is taking. Interstingly when I tried this it kept failing at a 64.125.nnn.nnn - it kept going around in circles before timing out.\n\nAnysort of information like this is useful to give to your ISP.

Discrepancies in security settings can cause this.  If one computer has a firewall it may be preventing access to a certain site.  Same goes with differences in browser settings, anti-virus, etc.

I think there may be problem either with the site you are opening, connection speed or installation not done properly. \nTry opening any other site, if not working restart you pc & try again. Otherwise, Re-install IE 7.0

Open the Command Prompt or MS DOS on your pc type ping webite.com for example ping yahoo.com

Although I do not clearly see what you could have clicked to do that, for Windows XP the solution to restore your TCP/IP settings is simple.  Just go to Start->Run and type "netsh int ip reset log.txt" and restart your computer.\n\nIf that does not resolve you speed issue, run a spyware scan like the one at http://housecall.trendmicro.com

Are you on dial up, DSL or cable?  If on dialup, sometimes the sites "time out" and will not load, especially if there are many graphics.  Also, there are some sites that are actually down at times.  Lastly, is there a block on certain sites on your computer?

You aer accessing a website from your system? If so it is not your issue! Its the issues with that site.\n\nTry to access  the same from some other system and you will get the answer!\n\nSathu

So you can view .net, right?   Sounds like an issue with your internet secuity settings.  Make sure you don't have *.com blocked.  Check all your security and privileges in firefox  and make sure they are not preventing you from accessing sites with that extension.  The computer doesn't know it from .org, .net, or .poop.  \n\nAlso, do you have some kind of NetNanny enabled, or even worse, Earthlink?  At one point you may have accidentally blocked yourself out.  \n\nEasiest thing to do is reinstall, especially considering that is could be entirely coincidental and the sites you happen to be trying to access aren't available inFirefox on Linux yet.  Look: http://linux.ioerror.us/2006/01/firefox-users-cant-access-internet-explorer-only-web-sites/ \n\nAnd then: \nhttps://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/59/

First of all, don't be alarmed by the behaviour you are experiencing - what you experience is normal by the symantics of the commands you executed.\n\nTo restore your ping executable to what it was, I'd suggest you try reinstalling your tcp/ip stack, or copy the ping executable from another friend's computer and stick it in the system32 directory.\n   If you chose the former suggestion (reinstalling your tcp/ip stack), here is a guide from the microsoft website: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=299357
