problem browsing.. pages won't open...started recently. Have tried everything. Please help!?
Hi, the computer I use at work is connected to the internet and I have never had any problem using the internet. The other day, I couldn't log into email or facebook. I could go to any page without logging in, but when I tried to log in, it would show me that page you get when you're offline.
I don't store any temporary files so I know I'm not offline looking at saved pages. I can search with google. I still can't log into anything but today I can't go to most pages (harmless news pages for example) unless using a proxy.
I've checked all the internet settings I can think of and the firewall is turned off, anti virus options that interfere with internet are also switched off. There is no filter or block on adult content or anything. I should be able to see any page I want. I was able to download mozilla firefox to see if it was just I somehow messed up internet explorer settings but mozilla wouldnt open any pages at all or search in google so I uninstalled that. I don't know why it suddenly started being weird but it is possible that my technophobe boss suddenly got it into his head to mess with settings but I've restored factory settings in my browser and I'm able to log into answers (but not mail) with a proxy so it doesnt make any sense to me. If you can shed any light on this I would really appreciate it! Thanks
