Re: yet again i have more computer problems
 

He still could have an unregisterd IP address. Mine is unregistered and im working off Verizon Broadband. I understand that the likely hood of it being an unregistered IP problem is very unlikely but it still could be the probelm, Just becuase its a isp doesnt mean its always going to be perfect.

AND

He needs to check his firewall!!! Where is this guy anyway =]

Re: yet again i have more computer problems
 

They might not be able to replicate the problem in the repair store.

Who made your laptop? (i.e Dell, HP, Gateway)

AND

Where are you taking it? (i.e Geek Squad or what?)

Re: yet again i have more computer problems
 

no no no it is a pc im not taking it untill i get my new laptop so im not with out a computer for the time it is being repaired

Re: yet again i have more computer problems
 

Well still who made it?

and where do you plan on taking it to?

Re: yet again i have more computer problems
 

Well I do this work for a living, and it does seem that some aspect if being blocked. If I am correct the problem is that secure sites are not allowed. That being said, mainly the cause of this is most often a firewall setting, since you said your firewall was disabled, and still no luck. Try to disable your firewall, reboot, and than try again if that is not what you did. From all my work dealing with Windows, rebooting is definately an important step in any procedure. If that doesn't work, maybe you have cookies blocked, or a setting of the likes that the site needs to allow you to connect. Just a first hand thought. See what your browser is allowing and not allowing. If everything checks out good, call your ISP. They will be able to see if a problem is something on their end, and maybe the cause of you pulling your hair out. ;]

Just think that you buy your laptop and find out the problem still exsists. I would highly suggest talking to your ISP and seeing if their end is in running shape. Seen it happen before, not to pretty. =]

Re: yet again i have more computer problems
 

And if after contacting the ISP and maybe changing ISPs and it still doesnt work...

Switch to Apple.

or better yet... Linux =]

I wouldnt reccomend this for a beginner but if you wanna keep widnows

"Fdisk..Format..Reinstall...do dah ...do dah"

But Darmagi knows what im talking about(He went threw the course I'm in)
