[BennyCaleny]

My computer runs fine and everything, but when I'm typing on word and want to
you use the "Look-up" feature it says I'm not connect, I am however connected
to the internet but Word doesn't recognize it... any help??

Could it be that your firewall is blocking Word from accessing internet?

It's possible that your firewall prevents Word from accessing the Internet.
Take a look at the settings for the firewall.

I have and I'm confused on what to look for. I honestly have no idea what I'm
looking for.. Now my Mcfee virus scan says it can connect to the internet
either..

I don't know the exact terminology for your antivirus program / firewall. My
firewall uses the term "blocked" for programs that aren't allowed to access
the Internet. You should look at the documentation for your antivirus
program and firewall.
