Connected to Internet but no Explorer
Just got new Laptop. It is definitely connected to Internet via wireless
broadband connection. Downloads and updates received. Can see other computers in home network. BUT Internet Explorer will not load up. It says it is a HTTP, FTP, Firewall problem and mentions Ports. Have tried home network wizard and have checked connection - definitely connected to Internet. Any ideas anyone? -- Jenny T

Any ideas anyone? Plug into router with a cable and see it that fixes the problem. Using Vista I presume? I have blogged about this issue just this week at freecomputerconsultant.wordpress.com Also, see if you can download Firefox on another PC, then copy to and install on your laptop. You are likely to like Firefox so much you won't miss IE. www.mozilla.com www.FreeComputerConsultant.com
