HTTP: Error 12007
![athalonhead](https://icrontic.com/uploads/userpics/navatar12640_1.gif)
I get this error when trying to go to any Microsoft web site with IE8. And Firefox wont go to microsoft also.
HTTP: Error 12007 connecting to [url]www.microsoft.com:[/url]
I did some searches on this forum and Google and it seems that it may be a registry problem.
If it is, are there any free registry cleaners that will fix the problem?
I can also fix it manually in the registry with some help.

Open the Command Prompt,type in
netsh winsock reset
press enter
I restarted the computer and it still wont go to Microsoft update.
I am out of the area and wont be able to do it until tomorrow night.
Thanks for the help so far I will post back with the results.
I have also cleaned out the history on IE and Firefox. I also restored IE to default everything.
There was a line that said something about reg cure. Which is what allot of the searches went to as a fix for the problem. So it probably did that too. I also restarted the computer after the scan and repair.
I cant go on any Microsoft web sites even with Firefox.
Here is what IE says about the problem
warn HTTP: Error 12007 connecting to [url]www.microsoft.com:[/url] The server name or address could not be resolved
warn HTTPS: Error 12007 connecting to [url]www.microsoft.com:[/url] The server name or address could not be resolved

warn FTP (Active): Error 12007 connecting to ftp.microsoft.com: The server name or address could not be resolved
error Could not make an HTTPS connection.
error Could not make an FTP connection.
ping www.microsoft.com
It shouldn't ping back, but it should resolve the name to an IP address.
It said ping request could not find www.microsoft.com please check the name and try again. Did I do something wrong?
I don't have any other computers running at this time to try going to microsoft.
ipconfig /all
then paste the output, that might help.

It's possible you do have a virus. Have you done any virus scans? The other possibility is your Hosts file has been changed. Go to a command prompt and type the following please
type c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
It should look like this:
Depending on what version of windows your running those last two lines may be different.

I did scan for viruses and there were some. Avast got all of them I hope
type:
type c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
(type is the command)
I don't think I am doing anything wrong. If I leave a space at the beginning it says it doesn't recognize the command or invalid command.

Here it is. I can see someone has been on some bad sites. I am not the only one to use this computer. I hope I can get rid of them. Again thanks for the help so far.

So I gave up and I whipped the disk with seagate tools and reinstalled windows.
With the porn and the viruses I just wanted it all off my computer.
It goes to Microsoft update now.
Thanks for the help
