Unstable Internet Connection


Question Posted Sunday June 3 2007, 11:13 am

For about 1 YEAR NOW only SOME sites have been working on my computer. For example, Myspace.com works, Facebook.com does not work. Well, the main sites shows up, but when I try to log on it says "Site Not Found" same thing with hotmail.com, I get to the main page, but cannoty log on.

I have a cordless connection. We have two computer at home, my brother's computer is hooked up to the internet (with everything working) and mine is connected to his through this little cord that I plug into the USB, if that makes sense.

Anyways, we changed it around, and hooked mine up directly to the Internet-thingy and gave him the cordless - his still worked, but mine was the same - main page shows up, cannot log on.

So does that mean that something's wrong inside of my computer?

IE is refusing secure connections. Go to start, then run. Type:

inetcpl.cpl

--If you have IE7(the new upgrade) follow these instructions. If not, skip to the next block of instructions.

Go to the security tab. Click "reset all zones to default levels". Go to the "advanced" tab. Click "restore advanced settings"(NOT "reset")

--If you have IE6(the old version) follow these instructions.

Go to the security tab. Click "default level". Click "local intranet", then "default level". Click "trusted zones", then "default level". Click "restricted zones", then "default level". Go the the "advanced" tab, click "restore defaults".

That should fix it. If not, send me a private question and I'll see what I can do.
