Re: Sections of internet blocked

Don't have a friend with a connection either. (at last localy. Working 3rd shift KILLS your social life >:( ) But things got very stange. I can now access the area's I was blocked from. I had rerun the network setup wizard and rebooted. No connction to AOL. But a few minutes later, I noticed the HP/AOL homepage gave me a "cannot display page", as opposed to the old message "cannot connect". So I looked again and bang, AOL and other sites are now back. I think whatever was going wrong with the net/RR got fixed (I was starting to show some latancy problems the past 2 days, but they are gone as well). Got a weeks plus e-mail to catch up on. Thank you everyone who tried to help.

Re: Sections of internet blocked

Not quite correct about RR fixing things. I forgot that I had set up for a proxy server. Going through that is how I am able to connect. But at least I KNOW for a fact now, it's not my system and I can access things I need now.
