Ok guys here is my issue and anyone who can solve this gets a hero cookie from me. It seems that for some very strange reason when I view a website that needs to use the JRE plugin it starts to work for a minute then it just disconnects(times out) me from the site (Example Pogo.com). Now I'll run down the list of things I have tried so far myself. 1. Fresh intall of XP Pro SP2 on PC - Still not working 2. Checked firewall/Internet Explorer/popup blocker settings and everything is fine there. 3. Tried multiple versions of the JRE and still nothing. 4. Safe mode/w Networking - still doens't work in there. 5. Ran spybot/adaware/spy sweaper/norton AV and my PC is clean. I'm about to lose my mind with this f@$king thing, if anyone has had the same issue and found a way around it can you please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Marshe, is it just at that website? Perhaps you need to specifically allow that site in your firewall? HTH. Ed in Texas.

Even with the firewall totally turned off it still does it, and no its not limited to that site many sites which require JRE it does it also.
