anox195 Posted October 29, 2008 CID Share Posted October 29, 2008 I am a computer technician at computer co op in jackson, i have a A+ and CCNA certification and am completely stumped. I have 2 different customer PC's here that cannot connect to the internet in normal mode. I have completely uninstalled firewalls, disabled windows firewall and have AVG Free 8.0 running on each. They are completely virus/rootkit/spyware free. In normal windows I can ping, tracert, nslookup from cmd prompt with no problems.. even browse the local network, however no programs can connect its like a firewall or something is blocking them. However when I boot to safe-mode with networking I can connect with no problems at all, ie + firefox. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted October 29, 2008 CID Share Posted October 29, 2008 Seeing as Safe Mode shuts down running background programs. Have you tried closing programs one at a time form task manager until it connects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
