Really odd IE / Mozilla issue!
Cripes this is a tricky one and I work as an IT security consultant!
Right then! All internet traffic OK – MSN, Skype, POP3/SMTP – alles. BUT IE and Mozilla totally dead! Ethereal shows traffic going out and returning but nowt on the screen. Have run HijackThis et al but to no avail. I just get "Cannot connect to server." I have a Fortigate unit in transparent mode and have removed it so I’m going straight out/in. Thing is, my laptop - connected to the same router – works 100% A1! Odd indeed. Spyware seems the only culprit but I’ve not found anything at all.
Any ideas, fellow keyboard clickers?
PS No proxy. DOCSIS cable modem.
