hello fellow techies,
I can't figure out what happen. I made the switch to firefox and all was great. Now, I try to go to some of my usual sites and it times out, can't find, etc. I have not updated anything exceptmy regular dat files. Anyone else having this issue?

stay well all

Is IE the same?

If you have a router, read the manual for the reset info.

Have you done any port forwarding?

Check your firewall & make sure Firefox isn't blocked. Mine is working OK.
