Problem solved. The issue stems from an incomplete uninstall from cisco's
VPN client version 4.0.x.x. There is a system file in windows\system32
apparently from zone alarm ?? (vsdatant.sys). Presumably, this is a built in
firewall with the product. Deleting this file and/or disabling the entry in
the registry solves this issue. Cisco has taken off this link from its
website. The latest client version is 5.0.0.

My problem is the opposite of the problem addressed in those links. The

access non-secure or regular web sites (http).

= Open the Windows

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc = look in the Right Pane/window for this
file called the HOSTS file but not the one with the extension *.SAM* leave
this as is.
If you can't see it try to click Tools >> Folder Options and select show

There see any reference for that site and remove it, you Hosts file will
looks like this:

Power or unplug the Power cord for the Router/Modem for about 40 seconds or
so be generous with it <g> turn the computer OFF and wait for the time to go
by!!.
Then Turn the Router/Modem ON and wait a minute or so then Power ON the
computer and try to establish a connection and try the link, does it work?.

= If still no joy then continue with this step:
Open windows Explorer and locate the Hosts file and Rename it to Hosts.OLD
Reboot the machine and try, does it work.

= If not working still try this:
search for them by this name *index.dat* and you can delete them
then the on reboot the system will recreate them for you.

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Cookies = index
C:\Documents and settings\User\User data = index
C:\Windows\Temp\Cookies =index
C:\Windows\Temp\History = index
C:\Windows\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 = Index.dat
Reboot your machine and see if this helped.

Step2++=

Open a run command and type in:
sfc /scannow click [OK] you will need the XP CD installation media to
accomplish this operation.

If tweaking your third-party firewall's settings don't help, try the
following

1. Disable your anti-virus application, any real-time protection provided by
an anti-spyware application (except for Windows Defender; includes Spybot
Tea Timer, SpySweeper Guards, AVG AS guard.exe, etc.), disable any
third-party firewall AND enable the Windows Firewall

NB: If you're running ZA Free firewall, you may need to uninstall it instead
of disabling it. You're "working without a net" now: Don't to ANYTHING else
online (e.g., browsing; reading email; chatting) except #4 below until your
anti-virus application has been re-enabled

2. Uninstall "Security Update for Windows Internet Explorer 7 (KB939653)"
via Add/Remove Programs (make sure Show Updates box is checked at top right)
and reboot

3. Re-do #1 above

4. Go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and install any Critical Updates
offered. If "Root Certificates" update is listed in the Optional Updates
category, you might install it, too, to take full advantage of IE7's
additional security

5. Reboot > Make sure everything in #1 above is enabled again and, if

I've been experiencing the same problem as Hong for the past week or so, I DO
NOT want to re-os, I've followed all of the steps as pointed out by nass and
PA Bear.

1. Installing firefox did nothing
1a. I removed IE 7 to IE6 - same result

2. The only thing that does not seem to work with the DLLs is : regsvr32
w3ssl.dll - It says "w3ssl.dll" was loaded but the dllregisterserver entry
point was not found. The file cannot be registered"

3. sfc /scanow does not work - it asks for an XP professional CD although I
have XP Media Center addition installed. Unfortunately I don't have service
pack 2 for XP professional just and .exe file someone gave me on a burnt CD -
so that doesnt help

4. I uninstalled Norton AV in the hopes it would do the trick, but no; all
banking related secure sites are the only ones that are available, gmail is
secure when you sign in after which it waits endlessly to reach the inbox
because of HTTP.

5. I downloaded the windows scripting help - not sure what that does??
(script56.chm)

6. Windows update is only accessible via HTTP !!! - arghhh !

The suspect I think is a cisco VPN client I downloaded off the net
v4.0.something.... it is extremely frustrating. I am starting to lose
patience - Any help would be much appreciated !!
