Hi users

I am trying to help a friend with no http traffic challenging problem and need some help please. I have been in IT industry for for some time but this one seems to be challenging because, even the ISP is trilled by this. The POTS line was faulty so Telecom called in a Chorus tech who has done a basic inspection no my modem and home connection and thinks everything should be fine on their end and told the ISP that its their problem.

Problem: no http traffic through the browsers.

Here is what we have tried to trouble shoot:
usual Ping + ping the DNS server - works
ping with large packet – ping –l 1492 8.8.8.8 - works
DSL-resolving
Ipconfig/all – check the DNS server being issueed
telnet - works
modem have tried two different type of modem
PPP authentication - the ISP is seeing us logging into their network
DSL - all connected up and stable
Browsers - 2 different browsers have been tried - no luck

Not yet, Thanks for that! I will check for virus and also disable the antivirus soft just to make sure. Cheers!

I have tried to connect my iphone via WIFI to the modem - no luck. So that eliminate the issue of the PC being the victim?

Is it only http traffic which is affected? What about https, that's not going to be proxied?

Could break out wireshark and make sure your packets aren't being wrangled upstream of you.

Is the computer able to do DNS lookups, using both Ping and the web browser?

Can you type in ping geekzone.co.nz and it will work? or do you have to enter an IP address?

Also has this problem occoured on an existing connection, or has the customer changed ISPs and can't get the connection working on the new ISP?

are you using the right dns settings? hard code the dns in the router if possible, try flushing the dns cache on your pc.
