An odd Internet access error...

[Mini-Me]

Hi all.
:)

This is strange - I cannot access the Internet whenever I have finished ripping DivX files.

Does not matter which browser I use.

Connection is established just fine, but no traffic gets through.

Dial-up connection.

If I re-boot, I can get in and access just fine, but not until I reboot.

This happens every single time, right after ripping DivX is complete, so something is upsetting the ability of the connection to talk to the PC.

Weird, huh?
:confused:

BTW: Get the IP address of the server, and ping it, and the server responds, but the browsers don't...

Weird, huh?

As I said - reboot and it works - I love technology...
:p

Which version of Windows?

That sounds like a DNS problem...

[Mini-Me]

Win XP Pro SP2.
