Everything looks good there.  Here are some things to try:

 

1. Go to Start > Run and type ipconfig /flushdns
2. Try downloading and running winsockfix for Windows XP from the Here
3. Open the hosts file (it should be at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc it is the file named hosts with no extension and can be opened with Notepad.   Look at the contents of the file and see if any of sites you cannot get to are listed.   If they are, close the file and rename it to hosts.old

Let me know if any of these steps solve the problem.

Steve,

Tried all none work. However my virus guard(AVG) updated OK over the link as did Adobe reader, 12mb in 3mins, presumable using FTP. But IE7 and Mozilla Firefox both time out after waiting for site. HTTP ?

Any more suggestions,

Thanks

John

As another troubleshooting step, boot to Safe Mode with Network Support and see if the problem exists there.  Report back what you find.

 

Steve

Thanks Steve, problem solved, with your help I was able to prove that it was not my computer to my ADSL provider, they re-checked their line( which they insisted was OK ) and found that the telephone central exchange line card was configured wrong and affected HTTP traffic. Now re-configured and working OK.

Thanks

John
