I have a rather unique problem I have not encounter before. I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I recently developed a problem where I cannot browse to any web page despite the fact that all my network connections are fine and I can still use web dependent applications such as Windows Update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I have the same Problem in Vista Home Premium. i also dont know how to correct the problem. But Try this, 1. Open Command prompt(Run as Administrator) 2. Type ipconfig/flushdns 3. Windows will clear the dns cache. This might correct your problem. Please Reply. Regards Waran

I have tried this but still have the same problem. Any more advice?

I have decided to do a system restore to a previous date and this of course has fixed my problem. Don't know what the caused the problem in the first place though.
