asked on

Can't access certain web site from Win 7 on our Lan - Windows XP is fine 500pnts

I've ask on here before but thought I would try again

Ok so our company has a problem with certain web sites some http and some https for example we cannot access www.gov.uk from a Win 7 client.

This is what I have tried so far...

1.      Cannot access certain web sites from Win 7, server 2012 clients – Win XP, 2003 client works fine
2.      I’ve tried my Win 7 laptop works fine from home doesn’t work on WL network
3.      I’ve tried several different browsers (IE 8,9,10,11, Firefox, Chrome, Safari)
4.      I’ve tried clean boot Win 7 machine with no AV and firewall
5.      I’ve tried 32bit version on Win 7 (We use 64bit)
6.      I’ve had the Cisco Pix firewall checked and the config doesn’t block any traffic at all
7.      I’ve tried importing certificates from the Win XP machines
8.      We can telnet to port 80 and port 443 on site that won’t display in our browsers like www.gov.uk
9.      I’ve installed wireshark and followed the TCP\IP stream – I can’t see strange in the results.
10.      I’ve tried using the Google public DNS 8.8.8.8 – made no difference
11.      There are no group policy in place
12.      Make no different in the client is a member of our domain or not

Hi,

pls put the static IP and check if you have still same issue.
Try turning off the firewall and double check that the browser is not using a proxy.  

Also, try doing an http get request from telnet.

telnet <ip address> 80
GET HTTP://<WebSiteName>

Open in new window


You will have to type in or copy the second line into the cmd prompt.  You should get back html.  If not, then even though you are making a connection, something is preventing the traffic from coming through.  Usually this would be a firewall issue.  Also, if you are not tracking it, check if the computer's IP address makes a difference.  Use one of the IP addresses that one of the WinXP machines was using on the Win7 machine.  

Good luck.
Have you checked the IE settings is set to LAN not proxy. can you provide a screenshot of source on page
@Jorge Ocampo, already stated "...double check that the browser is not using a proxy..."

Tried Static address makes no difference

It's not sitting behind a proxy as I control all that stuff and there isn't one

Try "telnet <ip address> 80" - But the screen just goes blank with a little cursor flashing where would I enter GET HTTP://www.gov.uk - tried from CMD and just got GET not recognised.

Thanks for you help any other ideas?

Ian
Try,,,,

Run Command Prompt as Administrator

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ipv4 reset

and reboot the system.
Try what Santosh said.  

With regard to telnet, when you get the flashing cursor, that is when you type in or coyp the GET ... into the command prompt and then hit enter.  It should return the HTTP message from the server including HTML. This is just a test to see if the problem is in networking or the browser.  If this returns ok, then it is likely something in the browser configuration or higher layer.  If it does not return ok, then there is something lower level, like what Santosh is talking about.  

 Regarding proxy, whether or not you have a proxy set up on your network, you need to check this in your browser settings.  In IE, it would be Tools->Internet Options, Connections tab, LAN settings button.  Make sure Proxy server is not checked.  You can also make sure the other boxes are not checked as this is the most common configuration.
@rfportilla

Definitely no proxy set on the browsers..

The Telnet session goes blank and the cursor just blinks - Where exactly would I type in the GET command from the normal cmd prompt run as administrator?

This is what I get
C:\Windows\system32>GET HTTP://www.gov.uk
'GET' is not recognized as an
operable program or batch file

C:\Windows\system32>

I'll try what Santosh suggest now as well
Tried

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ipv4 reset
reboot

Made no difference.

When I go to  www.gov.uk I get the spinning circle reading "Waiting for www.gov.uk" then it times out and I get "This page can't be displayed"
try this.............

open a command prompt and do an "ipconfig /flushdns" and then an "ipconfig /registerdns"
then "netstat -r" after that "arp -d".
When you type in the telnet command, it will connect and you will get a blinking cursor.  That means you have a connection.  While the cursor is blinking, then type in the GET ...

This is sending the HTTP GET command across a TCP connection to the server.  But, you have to make the telnet connection first and then type the command through the telnet connection.

Also, have you tried turning off the Windows Firewall Service?  And turning off any other Firewall?  For instance, I have McAfee on my computer.  This behaves differently on Windows 7 than Windows XP.
@Santosh Gupta
Tried command
Made no difference below is the text from the netstat -r command

@rfportilla

Yep tried it with no firewall at all make no difference.

Ok so I am use HyperTerminal for the Telnet Client - I connect to the site but the when I try and type "GET" it will not type anything
It may not be echoing locally.  That does not mean that it is not sending.  Additionally, for this test I would recommend typing out "GET http://sitename.com" in notepad and making sure there are not typos and then copying it to telnet after the connection is made.  Replace sitename with the site you are trying to reach but can't.
Can you do a tracert to one of these sites on both machines and compare the two?
Ok so I pasted GET http://www.gov.uk into HyperTerminal once it was connected but still nothing returned

Tracert to www.gov.uk is the same on Win 7 and Win XP

C:\Windows\system32>tracert www.gov.uk

  5     *        *        *     Request timed out.
  6     *        *        *     Request timed out.

What you gut feeling about this @Rfportilla?
Stupid question.  Did you press enter after sending the Get request?  

It looks like the IP layer is doing it's job.  For some reason the TCP layer is blocking this.  This is almost always a firewall error.  The only other thing I have is what was already recommended:

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ipv4 reset
reboot

If you tried this, then i don't know.  There is something along the way that is blocking the traffic.  How many Win7/2012 computers are exhibiting this behavior?  

Do you have an antivirus running?
@Rfportilla

Yep pressed enter after sending the GET request
We use Kaspersky Endpoint 10 - but it make no different if the firewall is on or off, clean computer with no AV and no windows firewall react the same way.

This is the config from our Cisco Pix

From what I understand the first two lines indicate that there should be a problem passing traffic from the outside in...

I really appreciate you help - have you got any more ideas?
