Comment: 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?

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

Reply: (edit)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.
