Ok here we go..My type of connection is DSL Verizon, my modem is a Westll 327W and I connect from home. The only other computer I have is my husbands laptop and he uses a dial up connection.
The thing that gets me about this whole problem is that I have tried to get on to Kazaa and it says the same thing, that I am behind a firewall, I am not behind a firewall. So I just dont know,. I actually had to go out and get a good drunk on,, am I drunk now, YES, but that is besides the point the problem is still there..

sorry had to.
Would it be a good idea to try to totally reformat my comp?? Cause I did do a microsoft update and I thought maybe that might be the problem.. Maybe I downloaded a security update and didnt realize it.. I dunno maybe Im grasping at straws.. anything would be worth a shot now..
I think I am going to try to reinstall 4.8.1 first to see what happens there. But do you think that doing a reformat would do any good?? WTF is going on?? I just dont get why I cant get on to other sites like Kazaa.. That is just to weird.. I did call my verizon people and they dont block p2p networks.... your guess is as good as mine.. But if yours is better than mine... share please!
thanks in advance
