Thread: Able to ping but not able to open from IE 6 and FireFox

Hello,
I am having BSNL boradband connection and using UT300RU modem. Till today I am not having any connection problems but now I am not able to open any site from IE6 or Firefox but I can able to ping any site and getting repely.

Thanks in advance fo help.

If all the settings are correct then it might be a problem in you port at exchange. but before that please ensure that your settings in modem and windows are correct.

In ping are you facing any packet loss..?

You know, you could also try updating your browser. You're using firefox right? Try updating it, that could work too since sometimes some things are just not compatible with the current browser.

1. presume modem is UT300R2U ( new model )
2. Can you open email in OUtlook Express Or OUtlook or any other
email program you are using?
3.Check in Diagnostics page what are the "Fail" components.
4. Try a "System Restore"
5. Or you on "Dialer" mode or "Always ON" mode ?
6. Start and do a tracert

too tight security levels, are what trouble IE8. i do wonder who changes them once set. few of my friends had this problem.


Please check at "tools- internet options- security”--
The first three over there could be medium, medium-low and low respectively.
Also go to "advanced” and click “restore advanced settings” and ok it and come out
You should be able to browse from then on.

You can go for system restore as essbebe said. I was having such type of problem and at last I found "Some WINSOCK " is blocked. so if you can please format your PC.
