someone may have asked you this but you are not using Alarm Zone on your computer. When they came out with an update by Microsoft it broke something in Zone Alarm the only way to fix it is by removing the update. I ran into this about 2 months ago

Hi everyone - thank you for your help and patience - specially since this is not a generic "Internet Connection Tech Support" list!
I'd like to outline steps I've already taken, in order to clear up any confusion (please also see update below):
- inspection with Wireshark, NetMon, Process Explorer and Process Monitor
- compare all my settings on working connection to non-working connection
- rebooting several times
- reset winsock
- clear dns cache
- try everything in safe mode
- disable all firewalls and security software
- connect directly to my cable modem
- hard-code OpenDNS servers for DNS settings
- disable net bios
- temporarily disable "DNS Client" in services
- delete a lot of registry keys related to winsock and netbios
- delete all winsock LSPs (through 3rd-party tool)
- run various winsock resetting tools (Microsoft and 3rd-party)
AND last but not least! :
Last night I did a Windows repair install, which I guess attempts to delete all system files and replace them with the ones on the CD. Took about an hour so it would seem that a lot of things were reinstalled. However, the connections are still not fixed. This leads me to believe there must be some third-party module that is corrupted (or malware) sticking around somewhere and getting in the way. Anyone know of any other debugging/tracing tools that might be used to track this sucker down? (I really don't want to have to completely reinstall - it's a real pain with all the custom drivers on these vaios!)

@Hansang - No luck there either
p.s. the "http" is just a result of email transfer
ah. Thanks. Removing the registry entries didn't help? I agree
with the idea of resetting winsock completely. My guess is that
Windows is confused because he want's a WINS reply and not a DNS
reply.
