Solve : internet log ins on dell?

Answer»

i have a new dell dimension desktop with dial up internet from earthlink. it works fine except when i try to log into my msn e-mail account, or any other on line form for that matter.
with the firefox browser, the message "the conection has failed" or some variant comes up, and with internet explorer, it goes to "page not found" page. i can access my e-mail from other computers but not this one., it also refused the connection for logging in to ebay, yourmusic.com, and trying to get a from for a passport. please help.Have you tried changing the connection settings of Internet Explorer.


  • 1. Either right-click on the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop and choose Properties [glb]or[/glb] open Internet Explorer, click on Options and open Internet Options.
  • 2. Continue by clicking on Connections, then click on LAN settings and uncheck everthing. [glb](Not relevant for a dial-up connection !!)[/glb]


The labels COULD be different, because I use a German Windows version !!  THANKS for the advice, but all the boxes are alreadt unchecked there. i don't no if this is a security ISSUE, a bug, or something else but it really inhibits my use of the internet, any other ideas/Have you checked for Spyware/adware/virii?I'm sure I read somewhere last week that earthlink had a big problem with spam or malware being sent out to the point that many large servers were blocking earthlink completely.
I thought it would have been fixed by now.
Can you try going through a different server as a test?
Can you try using a proxy server as a test?

EDIT:  I see you can access using other computers, is that using earthlink or another ISP?
If it's by using earthlink then forget all of the above^

Then RUN the normal scans.I am able to log into forums like this one, but not into thingslike ebay, or msn hotmail. I've tried with internet exploreer and with mozilla firefox. whenever I attempt on firefox it says"the connection has been refused by ----", so could that be that msn and ebay are blocking access by earthlink users?
I can access msn through a different computer at work that uses broadband though.

how do I set up a proxy connection, or use a differnt server.if you think that would help?http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/index_en.htmlin regards to the earthlink security thing, i am able to access log-ins on an imac running MACOS 8.6, which uses the same earthlink connection.

I downloaded that jap program, but it would not start the anonimity feature, despite my firewalls being turned off. It dousn't appear to work in terms of the current problem, ALTHOUGH it does seem to be a viable program.
