Page not found errors on webpages please help!!

[SuperSaiyan4]

Hi guys I have tried loads of things but maybe I have overlooked something...I dont know why but when viewing certain webpages I get 'page not found' errors in place of ads etc, I have turned AD block feature OFF in Norton and dont have any toolbars that stop ads from showing etc, please can anyone help me please?

I dont know how to put a screenshot on here but I have one if it helps!!

[SuperSaiyan4]

Can anyone help me please!! :'(

It may be a security setting in your browser. Assuming you're using IE, go to Tools>>Internet Options>>Advanced and fiddle around with the settings there.

Lots of people would like to have your problem. ;)

[GrayFox]

Or you could try a better web browser try firefox www.mozilla.org.

[Kwitko]

Is that your answer to everything? :rolleyes: You're worse than primesuspect with his Memtest mantra.

I'll bet dollars to doughnuts the same would happen in FF.

[Thrax]

Or you could try a better web browser try firefox www.mozilla.org.

I thought we went over this? Fix the problem, <i>then</i> suggest alternatives.

K and thx.

[GrayFox]

I waited to a possiable fix was said Then suggested an alternative :rolleyes: .

[Enverex]

Check your hosts file and make sure it doesn't have millions of addresses in it...

[SuperSaiyan4]

Look guys please dont start telling me to use FireFox I dont like that browser AND for the record the same thing happens with that as well!!

Has anyone got a solution to my problem please?

[qparadox]

Did you try checking your hosts file and your security setting in IE?

On you on your own home connection? If yes who is your ISP? Can you give us some examples of pages that don't work?

[SuperSaiyan4]

Well have my settings in IE on default and have played around with the settings but no luck.

I am in United Kingdom and my ISP is Bulldog ADSL 1mb line down and 256k up.

When going on my hotmail where some ads would normally be they are page errors and when going on www.yahoo.co.uk ads are missing and instead has the page error in its place.

[qparadox]

Ahh ok, so its mostly that you see problems with ads.

Its quite possible that your hosts file has been modified. The hosts file is a system level override that can map certain domains to static ips. (So say you wanted to make www.******.cx go to google instead, you could do that in the hosts file).

It should be located in something like:

C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc

If you could attach that file to your next post it would help us eliminate that as a possible problem.

Other likely issues: some sort of ad-blocker or redirecter software that's been installed either by someone else, or covertly by a spyware program.

Failing that, maybe the ad servers are just down or your isp has blocked those ips.

[SuperSaiyan4]

Ok once I get home I will search using above mentioned and then see where the problem is.

Ads can come on different port than 80-- some places use 8080.

Loading XP's SP2 on an existing SP1 in XP can do this. I managed to break Peachtree's easy functions and helps by doing this. More recently, I reloaded my computer (partly a repair install, but was really a reload over same existing partition) because changing IE did very little to help programs local to my machine, in part (I also fubarred another critical boot thing, but managed to recover by reloading.

Lesson is as Tex has said: slipstream sp2 into SP1 install (rather complex). Either that, or load SP1 then load AV, then get and install SP2, then build rest of drivers and software back up. have as to how to do this.

[SuperSaiyan4]

well I am using win XP sp2...i am looking for C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc but dont know why nothing is coming up it cant find anything!

So are you saying my ISP is at fault and isnt allowing the return of those webpages to show correctly?

[Kwitko]

Try putting WINDOWS instead of WINNT:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

[gsalazar]

Hello i didn't mean to interrupt But i have the same problem but only with hotmail, using IE i can't see my mailbox but using mozilla firefox i can.
According what you've post here i guees i can't acces to the panda antivirus.
(i did my post but didn't get many answers there)

[GrayFox]

Why not just use firefox its better then ie in every way I can think of.

[SuperSaiyan4]

hi i found my hosts file but there are different ones!

I have hosts file, hosts.bak, Imhosts, hosts.old, hosts icalenderfile

[gsalazar]

I just have
hosts
Imhosts.sam
networks
protocol
services

[Enverex]

The file is just called "hosts". Open it with Notepad.

[gsalazar]

it just says
127.0.0.1 localhost
:confused:

[SuperSaiyan4]

Ok this is what I have: -

# copyright (c) 1993-1999 microsoft corp.
#
# this is a sample hosts file used by microsoft tcp/ip for windows.
#
# this file contains the mappings of ip addresses to host names. each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. the ip address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# the ip address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# for example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

[SuperSaiyan4]

So can anyone help me then please?? I am tired of seeing soo much missing icons etc and missing pics :(

[SuperSaiyan4]

well???

[Straight_Man]

Get rid of all but 127.0.0.1 localhost (edit it in notepad).

Then run adaware version 6+, Spybot S&D, and start a HiJackThis! thread in the Security area here.

[SuperSaiyan4]

So if you want me to remove ALL those apart from 127.0.0.1 localhost
wow!! so what is all that other stuff then? where did it come from? what does it do?

If this works then you are super clever!!!

[Camman]

wow yeah your hosts file is ridiculous, delete all of that crap except for the localhost and I would suggest booting in safe mode and then running adaware/spybot/anti-spyware, whichever you prefer (or all 3, that's why I do when I'm working on a deeply infected system).

[SuperSaiyan4]

ok I deleted all that apart from local host and also used adaware etc but still I CANT view the webpages correctly!! :( where there normally are banners i.e. www.hotmail.com instead of banners it says page not found!!! Any other ideas please guys?

I tell you what if someone can get this to work right for me I will send you $10 via PayPal!!! I PROMISE!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperSaiyan4]

Please anyone?? I dont want to re-format my hard drive :(

[Enverex]

It seems I was the only one that noticed, but his HOSTS file was good, not bad. It was actually blocking all Advert sites by redirecting them to localhost, it wasn't hijacking anything ;)

[SuperSaiyan4]

Hey guys that didnt work, however upon removing a lot of files etc even SP2...I found that SP2 is causing the ads and banners not to appear correctly BUT then my programs dont work correctly and have no option to but install SP2.

But on my other pc's SP2 is not a problem I dont know whats wrong with my machine then :'( please can anyone help?? is there something in the registry I have to do?

[SuperSaiyan4]

Dont worry peeps looks like I totally messed up Internet Explorer by deleting everthing to do with it in the registery oh well. Gonna do a backup of my files and re-format the whole lot!
