Broadband: unable to connect to the internet
unable to connect to the internet
by FpLiOnYkD - 5/8/07 5:48 PMI just got a dsl line and I am unable to connect to the Internet. I have tried using IE7, IE6, and Firefox. My antivirus is updating, so I am connected just unable to use a browser. When using IE6 or 7, I receive the following message.
Windows cannot connect to the internet using HTTP,HTTPS,or FTP. This is probably caused by firewall settings.
When I use Firefox, I receive a timed out error message.
I have disabled my windows firewall, and that did not help. It is not my ISP because my other laptop works.
I am using Winodws XP service Pak 2. Thanks for any info you can give me
