all started working for no apparent reason

Hi Jonathan,

I bought a new PC sometime back similar to you, xp norton firewall and
virus and i had a problem with norton to start with. I found the
solution was the built in windows firewall was also turned on. You can
check this in the start-control panel-network connections-right click
on isp connection-advanced tab == you will see the internet connection
firewall.  In my case it was on, turning it off fixed it and allowed
norton to function correctly.

Worth a check

kind regards

Pete

Got Norton Anti-virus loaded and up to date.

Which bit of code is stopping me from getting

I'd say IE  and firewall too ... I use Mozilla Firebird ... it is set to open 
different tabs instead of windows ... Maybe you want to tweak XP built in firewall and 
open ports 80 (http),443 (https).

Yep, could be the firewall, if the site gives not found error.

Another thing that you might hit is that Metalink requires cookies to be
enabled, maybe in XP's internet explorer they're disabled by default.

Re: Oracle websites

2003-12-02 Thread Reginald . W . Bailey

Is this a multiple choice question? My money is on the firewall.  You can
test this by trying to go to well known web sites like microsoft.com and
dell.com.  Who is the firewall's vendor?  You need to enable the feature
that allows full access to sites. Go to grc.com to check the firewall to
determine if it is doing it's job properly. If a web site is running Java
or Javascript, you might want to check the firewall to determine if it will
allow Java access. Also check the Internet Options to determine if Oracle
is on a list of bad sites.

Make sure you also allow destination port 53 UDP/TCP for DNS requests. Even if you can 
talk HTTP[S] on ports 80 and 443, you won't get very far if you can't lookup an IP 
address for a domain name.
