Connected, but Firewalled
« on: December 29, 2008, 12:09:17 PM »
I looked through the other posts, but I didn't see any similar problems, since many of them involved wireless routers.

Anyway, I have a DSL connection, and use an ethernet cord. Recently I had issues with a virus, so I downloaded an extra Spyware remover to clean my computer. My main program is WebRoot.

Just recently, I was on my PC in the morning, but when I came home, I was unable to get on the internet. The LAN said it was connected,  but firewalled. When I hook the ethernet cord into my laptop, the internet works perfectly fine, and that is using the firewall settings of WebRoot and the one on the Windows program.

I've tried disabling the firewalls, but nothing happens. I tried with both Internet Explorer and Mozilla.

Could someone care to help, since I've no idea how to fix this problem.
