For about the past month or more, I haven't been able to access web pages on my computer. I've been able to use email clients, as well as view locally stored web pages in browsers, and use the FILE protocol. But whenever I try to access a page using HTTP or HTTPS, I get some kind of error, usually the "Page Not Found" error. I've used Firefox, IE, Netscape and all of them do the same thing. So I know it's something wrong in my system, I just want to know what it is and how to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

Local lan or across internet? Are you running IIS or apache or xitami or what? Describe how the systems connect.

I'm running Apache, I guess. And yeah, I can't connect to websites over the internet. What do you mean by how the systems connect? I'm using a router to connect the computer as well as others to my DSL modem, but that's definetely not a problem. The internet works fine on all other comps in the home(I'm using one of those right now), and I can check email using Thunderbird, so it's not a connection problem.

Firewall issue?

Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

I don't use any beyond that. And I've checked out all the Windows Firewall settings, everything's fine. So I don't think it's that. Any other ideas.
