I upgraded my firefox to V3 (I think) and now it won't connect to the internet

its not the phyisical connection coz i.e7 works and I can ping internet addresses and IP's

it not a proxy problem coz its set for direct connection

It will open html pages stored locally

It wont even open my local router address management page (192.168.2.1)

so it looks like its just not seeing the IP stack

if tried uninstalling it reinstalling it -- new user profiles

not getting very farc -- anyone?

Software firewall kicked in after ff update?

Ant

As above program control on your firewll

mm dont thinks so -- that would nock out i.e7 aswell

also I can telnet a website on port 80

but I will check, (cant even remember if I have a fw on it, its just an old laptop)

Ant

It wouldn't knock out ie there two seperate .exe

hodgy0_2

ah OK an application firewall

mm I will check

but it did work prior to the update

I think it might be a problem with it accessing the IP stack

bang on lads -- thks

bloody Zone Alarm, I had forgotton I had it installed on this laptop, coz its not showing in the notification bar

thanks again -- funny coz whenever someone say to me they have connection problems, my first response is firewall

Cool, good to sort it and at least you know it's working!!

I've got mine to prompt on everything and it annoys my mrs but I'd rather have that than less stringent restrictions.
