browser conections

[Marsha]

When connected to the internet, I can not bring up any web pages, mail, or
newsgroups. What would cause this?
Thanks,
Marsha

My first guess: you told your software firewall to deny all incoming
and outgoing traffic.

Could be a firewall issue, could be name resolution, could be a routing
issue.

What errors do you get?
Can you ping your default gateway?
Can you ping your DNS server?
Can you ping your mail server?

Thanks,
