but when he tries to access http websites, there is an error:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".
but when he tries to access http websites, there is an error:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".

No, we do not have a proxy server.
does this happen to only one user or only one machine
try using a different login from this machine .
also try assigning the same ip to a different machine & see if he can go to http , if not probably it could be some setting on the firewall

This happens on one PC only. The problem seems to be with Windows Firewall. When I try to change the settings for Win Firewall, I get this error: "Due to an identified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings." When I look at Services, Windows Firewall is not listed. (Note: the Hard Drive is 96% full on this PC.) I have run Disk Error-Checking during startup on this PC, but that did not help.

That should read: "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings."

I ended up re-formatting the Hard Drive, and re-installing Windows XP. Now it works fine.
Thanks for your suggestions.

If yes check the advanced settings
Tools/internet options
Connections/Lan Settings/Advanced (next to the proxy server)
Check that the http part is correct.
