Brand new HP laptop, just out of the box. Brand new copy of Vista Premium.
Yet I am unable to connect to some (seemingly random) websites. For example,
I was attempting to download a copy of Avast but I could not get to their web
page. IE just never connected. Same with download.com. Finally got a copy
from PC world website, but I can't connect to Avast to download the updates
or register the product. This works fine from my work computer. Can't
access my isp home page -sympatico.msn.ca, however I can access the news
page. I believe that this problem is also affecting my ability to use
windows mail with my isp's preferred settings. If I go back to my OLD
settings (different pop3 server) it works fine, but if I change to the new
server it won't connect.
Help???
