Since I start Apache my internet connection reply "not found" for every http request while instead all the https request works fine as always.

When I stop Apache my internet connection begin to work properly.

I had this problem for 6 months. And 2 days ago I formatted my PC hoping in a solution.. but nothing's changed.

Someone could help me?


winxp SP2 @ xampp-win32-1.5.5

do youe use a router or something like this or a direct connection to the internet?

try to stop programes like Skype or P2P Software (emule, kazaa, ...) and only for testing also the firewall and the antivirus-program.

shit.. I think that the problem is in the avast antivirus firewall because if I restart it (stop and start after seconds) localhost and internet navigation begin to work as expected....

but how to reconfigure avast firewall? :(

You could no worse than maybe start here:

There is also a forum there that might be more authoritative than this one.

Google search may help also:

Try your Windows XP SP2 firewall settings if you are using it, or better still disable it and use a real one.

As always not much info to work with.
