You might also check the hosts file for blocking. Also this may apply.Can't access some websites while using a shared PPPoE connection http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article04-107Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows]

It would be much easier to follow if you kept this in the same thread. Just be sure to have good perimeter fire wall in place before the next clean install you do.Regards, Dave Patrick .... Microsoft Certified Professional Microsoft MVP [Windows]

I do not see any reason that microsoft website gets blocked , and rest you can access without any problem. There is a potential issue either virus / trojan / website blocked in your environment.Please do run netmon trace which give you better understanding of the packets along with the GET and POST message behaviors.

i have installed it more then once but the issue is there only microsoft websites are not opening with error in D.N.S server and i can't even ping www.microsoft.com although all the other domain are reachable and i got ping reply from all domains

Hi Amir Ali Khan,Please provide unedited ipconfig /all from the server / client from which it is failing .Also please run wireshark/ netmon trace to identify the communication between your system / server and web activity.

Hi Amire Ali Khan, Could you paste tracert microsoft.com from your local lan. This is looks like ISP DNS issue. Thanks Alagar.
