I'm working on a computer for someone right next to mine. I was trying to download firefox and I keep getting timeout errors on alot of sites, not just for firefox. The interesting thing is, I can visit them on my computer and we are connected to the same network. Anything why these sites are not loading on the one computer?

Miller, sounds like some sort of firewall. Is it possible he got some sort of nasty which blocks certain sites?

I checked for firewalls and maybe proxy settings, but nope. This happened before to this computer and I tried to solve it for a few hours and had to reinstall the OS to get it to work ... this was with xp home. I had to go to ME becuase HP didn't think it was necessary to include a restart disc that wasn't on the hard drive.

It's likely to be something to do with the security settings on the browser.
