Help please! I am having a nightmare of a problem with Vista Bussiness. The symptoms are as follows: Suddenly I am not able to browse the Internet. I get an instant error telling me that the page I am trying to view is unavailable or something along those lines. This is a systemwide problem (it happens with both FF and IE). Furthermore I cannot initiate any new connections at all. I have tried using telnet to servers (both local and external) on ports which I know to be accepting connections. I have triede disabling/enabling the network connection, to no effect. Sometimes the error will "go away" by itself, in a matter of minutes. But just as often the only resolution seems to be a reboot of the system. I have a sneaking suspicion that these problems are connected to the TCP connection limit, often I will get a warning that the TCP have reached the connection limit, according to the Windows System Logs. Therefore I have also tried doing a "netstat -no" in the CMD shell. To see if I could find a process which has a lot of waiting TCP connection. But alas, no help there either. The only connections showing up are the standard listening ones, but no waiting ones whatsoever. Now here the strangest part. This happens regardless of which NIC I am using and regardless of which network I am on. I have experienced this problem, on the same laptop mind you, both at home, when I am using my private WIFI and at work where I use a wired connection. So I guess we can exclude any hardware issues. And so it must be down to some setting or perhaps a bug in Vista. Any help would be highly appreciated. |
