You should not use IE to begin with! Go to www.getfirefox.com and install and use Firefox from now on.
I hope you have at least an Antivirus program running. If not, get AVG free from http://free.grisoft.com
Check \windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file without extension. Use notepad to open.
If there are any other entries than 127.0.0.1 localhost you may find the entry 127.0.0.1 www.something.com with the name of the site you can't access.
If there, put a # and a space in front of it, save the file and try again.

In Safe Mode, the OS loads only necessary components to get the OS running. In regular mode it loads everything the user tells it to, with or without your knowledge. That is what RBS is trying to help you with, getting rid of the crap that is running that is causing you problems.

:wave:Welcome to TechSpot:wave:
thx and thats what i thought to, in msconfig i set it to only load what it loads in safe mode with the exception of graphics and sound and it still isnt working. everyting thats running in safe mode is running right now unless theres something running that i cant find out from task manager and msconfig.

I've told you THREE times now to get rid of those O23 - Service lines.
Don't come back with another log!
I'm going to move this to the Networking Forum.

seeing a similar problem
Hi there,
I belive I have the same or a related problem. When loading iTunes on my Windows PC, Internet connection is lost. The only way I have been able to reconnect is by rebooting. I have the same problem after installing other similar music dowmload software - the Internet connection is lost.

Itunes will not connect to Network; Itunes is unable to connect to internet
OK Here it is guys I had the same problem and I found another Thread where a guy found a quircky fix for this. It worked for me I have XP SP2 and ITunes 7.4 what ever it is that is most updated on (10/21). You create a new X P User name and call it ITunes. Restart your compluter. Login as ITunes (new windows account for XP) go to Start Switch Log on Users and switch back and forth from your normal user name back to Itunes a couple of times. (it is important not to restart the computer right when switching back and forth, you have to switch users) After you do that a couple of times then try to loging a few times on Itunes after about 3 tries it finally connected.
