How about this one?

> netsh winhttp show proxy

Looks good!

Direct access (no proxy server)

Very confusing.

You can try going to the chrome net-internals page, and loading the Events section on the sidebar, and entering the following filter:

type:HOST_RESOLVER_IMPL_REQUEST type:HOST_RESOLVER_IMPL_JOB

And then try to drill down into the REQUESTs and JOBs and see if there is any indication as to where/why the lookup is failing.

Nice find SilverLeaf, I would like to know if this is the problem too.

AMAZING: SOLVED, THANK-YOU!!! This is why I love this forum!!!!

Not only was it set to 0 BUT there were no keys under "Catalog_Entries" at all, only 7 keys under "Catalog_Entries64" So I copied them from a working machine, set "Num_Catalog_Entries" to 7 and rebooted. BAM it's online!!!!

Now... begs the question .. why doesn't the winsock repair in D7 or MS's own FixIt tool detect this?

Edit: For anyone that needs it, this is the registry file I imported that make it work:

That is a good question. I would say that the Norton/Mcaffee changeover probably left the registry in an unstable state. It would be possible to automatically detect and fix.

What an insidious problem! I think I probably would have reinstalled before tracing it down to that level.

Again, great find SilverLeaf.

Glad it worked for you!

Yeah, Norton and Mcafee are frequently my go-to scapegoats. Its amazing how much trouble they can cause sometimes

Two of the worst programs on the 'net imo

D7 doesn't officially have the Winsock Repair function available just yet, but this functionality is already included if you dig deep! (I'm still testing it so it isn't mainstream yet...)

But open up D7\Modules\WinsockReset.exe and take a lookie there, that will scan for and show you missing protocol/catalog entries and optionally replace them with defaults.....

Sorry for not chiming in with that nugget sooner..

Wow, thank-you Nick, another awesome tool! I Love D7--using it remotely on 2PCs right now


Norton & McAfee seem to always cause a major problem when unisntalled. I have found that 99% of the time running the removal tools removes the junk and gets the computer back online. Our local ISP has now partnered with McAfee for their AV application, so we've been doing a lot more calls for it. Almost always leads to a new AV upsell too because we all know that McAfee is Garbage!

Thanks again for your help SilverLeaf, this is one for our knowledge base for sure!
