| 134367 | 2003-04-08 09:06:00 | Do you have zone alarm and have previously denied access for your email? | wotz (335) | ||
| 134368 | 2003-04-08 10:06:00 | Do you have any firewall at all, also some antivirus programs with or without firewalls can block access. Check thios thread Here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) |

| 134369 | 2003-04-08 21:35:00 | Connect to the net then open a DOS command window. Then type in ping www.pressf1.co.nz and see if you get a response Also try ping 210.48.100.45 and see if you get a response. You should at least get a response from pinging the IP address. If so your DNS settings may be wrong or need to remove Dial-Up networkind and reinstall. Let us know how you get on. |

| 134370 | 2003-04-09 02:25:00 | Ohh I get this problem a lot! When I reboot and try connecting again it's fine, but I can't get it sorted any other way.... does that work for you? When I did the ping thing I got no reply at all, very frustrating to be connected to the net but unable to do a thing. I also had this problem in the past when I installed internet connection sharing, from then on I could only connect if ICS was turned OFF. Check that out if you use ICS. Hope you manage to get an answer, Prod, would be nice I could sort my computer out too! BOBBLE :D |

| 134372 | 2003-04-10 10:31:00 | Had precisely this problem last week, despite having sygate firewall disabled. When I uninstalled it completely, no more problem. | Captn Andy (3405) | ||
| 134373 | 2003-04-10 20:40:00 | I had this problem a while ago and I think it was a running task called 'netserv' (or net something anyway). I tried disabling and uninstalling ZA a few times and goofed around with just about everything, I could connect if I rebooted, but what a hassle! all is sweet now thankfully running XPh and IE6. hope that's of some help to someone Trev |

| 134374 | 2003-04-10 20:50:00 | If any of the following are installed they will prevent internet access. Go to Add/Remove programs in the control panel. If you find New.Net, New Net Domains, The New Net, or Save Now listed there, remove it. |

| 134375 | 2003-05-19 06:21:00 | Thank you all for your help. I tried everything suggested with no luck so I copied my entire hard drive to a second older one I have installed and booted up off that, and you beauty she worked. Surfing again, oh how I missed it. However that hard drive will only let my monitor display a resolution of 600*480, which is chunky and ugly. I have tried changing it but it keeps reverting back to 600*480. I have the correct driver installed. The question is why does the monitor work perfectly when I booted up off the original hard drive, but is real ugly on the second drive if all I did was a straight copy from one drive to the other? Your help would be appreciated. Cheers Prod. |
