If not try to disable all security programs and see if that works. If it does then reenable them one at a time to identify which one is blocking port 80.


Also fyi, http connections are done via port 80 and your inability to establish connections on that port clearly identifies your problem. All your other services work b/c they do not require the use of port 80.
Well that sounds great that it can hopefully be fixed with something other than a complete redo of windows. I thought i had uninstalled norton but there may be something lurking around still, but how can i download the removal tool when i cant get to the webpage? I'm assuming i can save to a usb drive or something,but not quite sure how to do that.

I disabled my firewalls, and disabled all add ons and such for i explorer, no change in behavior.

Also, im not great with this kind of stuff, i can't find anything with avg that acts as a firewall and while i am unable to delete some of the norton folders, there are nothing in them since i deleted the software, and that was weeks ago this problem didn't occur until last night due to the windows update.
