Internet connection with ADSL

[adam salam]

Hi
What could be the problem if I could connect to the internet and download my email messages but when trying to request any web page I got an error page, even I could
> ping that website
and get a response ?
I am using Windows XP, an ADSL modem PPPoE <point-to-point Protocol over Ethernet>

I suspect a DNS problem so I have changed the TCP/IP configuration from auto dns to a will known dns server in my area, after test connectivity with that DNS server, but with no avail :(

I have heard that there are some spy codes could do that.

any help please

thank you.

First if you can ping by ip address, van you get to the site by putting in the ip adress as opposed to the web address?

I Recommend a FULL Security Scan.

1) Download, install and update Spybot. (http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10122137.html?part=104443&subj=dlpage&tag=button)

2) Download, install and update Adaware. (http://download.com.com/3000-8022-10214379.html?tag=lst-0-2)

3) Create a folder called HJT.

4) Download and install HijackThis (http://download.com.com/3000-8022-10227352.html?tag=lst-0-4) in the HJT folder.

5) Run Spybot and fix everything it finds

6) Shutdown your computer. Full shutdown DO NOT re-start.

7) Run Adaware and fix everything it finds.

8) Shutdown your computer. Full Shutdown DO NOT re-start.

9) Run an on line scan from Trend Micro (http://housecall.trendmicro.com/) and or Bitdefender. (http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php)

10) Run HijackThis from HJT folder. Do not run it from the TEMP or Temporary Internet Files folder as you will be unable to restore the backups created by HJT. After the scan is complete create a log file. DO NOT fix anything unless instructed to by an expert here.

11) Post the contents of the log and the results from the previous scans back here for evaluation.
