snafumaster Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 As part of installing SP2, XP now has a built-in firewall. That may very well stop you from browsing certain sites. Try disabling your firewall via the control panel and see if that takes care of it. If it does, you will need to configre your firewaall if yo plan to re-enable the use of the firewall.

Jeremy Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 It would have popped up a menu up asking if you wanted to unblock the application's access or continue to block it (because out of precautionary measures, firewalls are designed to automatically block any suspected-harmful activity until instructed by the user or user-defined rules).

The application in question, Internet Explorer, presumably has access. Ohterwise he most likely would not have been able to download SP2. Having said that, since my earlier post I was thinking that is more likely an issue with the settings in Internet explorer. Go to "Tools, Inernet options" from the toolbar. Click to the security tab, then the sites button there. Add your local site. See how that goes.*edit to add...Is there any chance you are using IE7 Beta2? I know there are some issues withh HTTP resolution with it...just a thought. Edited May 17, 2006 by snafumaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
