Firewall problem?
« on: June 21, 2006, 07:57:50 AM »
hi all ,

         im quite new to all this so here it goes...

I recieved an old PC off my sister which had windows xp professional(have to log in as admin) anyhoo...  i tried to connect to the internet via internet explorer and it came up with the error "page cannot be displayed", so i obviosly thought i had done sum thing to the connection. Start > run>cmd>ping www.google.com ..... but it acually recieved and sent pakages.. so i know the internet works and it would allow microsoft updates.. when i loaded windows live meesenger up, again it would not connect to the internet and the troubleshoot told me there was a firewall or proxy stopping me from connecting.. but i cannot find any program that is stopping the connection from occuring. (mozilla works, but bitcomet, limewire, msn, IE and steam does not connect to the net?)

i have recently found out it is an ex university PC(might have a certain firewall on) and i was wondering what i could do to get connected WITHOUT having to re install windows XP??

thanks for reading

    If you can run "Hijack this" on your computer and post the log you get from it

          Get a Firewall.
          Disable one of your antivirus programs.
          Run Hijackthis and mark the following for removal..
