Unable to browse any page in WinXP: Explorer and Firefox display blank for EVERY URL

Asked by innovideo in Firefox Web Browser, Windows XP Operating System, Internet Explorer Web Browser

Tags: Microsoft and Mozilla, Explorer and Firefox, Windows XP, Blank page displayed for EVERY URL

My problem is really weird. My XP SP2 machine has IP connectivity to the Internet, and non-browsing internet programs (Thunderbird, Skype and the like) work OK, but neither MSIE nor Firefox can show any web page. Regardless of the URL entered, I always get a blank URL page.

Oddly enough, the web browser embedded into Google Earth functions normally.

Other computers in the same LAN can browse without any problem, and I don't use any proxy, so clearly the trouble lives in my XP machine.
