To whom it concerns,
I am running Windows XP. I have two names assigned to the computer, one for myself and my personal files - also as the administrator; the other is for a friend and it is listed as a limited account. Now the problem I am having I have never had before, not on this computer or any others. On my name, I can access any sites - the email sites are the ones in question, however. On my friend's name, he can access sites, but not Yahoo mail - nor my Gmail - and I assume AOL as well. It's as though signing into any website is blocked. The message I receive in Internet Explorer is, "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page," and in Firefox, "Firefox cannot establish a connection to the server at..." I have tried so much, but I think it's just a matter of tweaking something in the software somewhere - more than likely my Norton Anti-virus (2004) program.
I'm hoping that by having joined this forum that I might find the answer I haven't found with search engines. Please, tell me it's something simple - even if difficult, I'm pretty good at computer stuff, just don't know the proper vocab. Thanks for the effort you might put into responding.
