Hi,
I have a PC in the office with a strange issue, please bare with me as this is most odd.
HP Z400 workstation, Windows 7 Ent X64, IE 11. On a Server 2008 Domain.
On this PC, for any user that logs on, IE will not display a lot of websites, examples are www.google.com and www.yahoo.com. I can access them in Chrome completely fine. IE just tells me "Cannot display the webpage".
I CAN ping the sites, and IE WILL display them if i enter the IP in the address bar. I just cannot access the site by name.
I have tried the following things to fix this and none of them worked;
1. Uninstall/RE-install IE
2. "Reset" IE to default using the advanced option button
3. IPconfig /flushDNS
4. Bypassed our internal Proxy server (websense) to rule that out
5. Cleared cached WPAD files (Del \wpad*.dat /S), combined with nbtstat -r, IE Reset and Flushdns
6. Changed physical network adaptor in the PC
7. Changed all network cabling from floor port to PC and patched to a different switch port in comms rack (clutching at straws at this point)
I think i can rule out out Domain's DNS, as other machines are OK and DNS Lookups are OK (as i can get the IP for the site and browse to that)
I have no more ideas to try out, so I come here pleading for your help to solve this before I decide on a career change and run away from it.
Hope I have provided enough info, let me know if you need anything further.
Thanks,
Tom
P.S. Please done respond just asking me to "Clean boot" the system, I tried safe mode with networking already and i still get the same problem.
