easytarget Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 I've found that on my desktop system when I visit Yahoo I get a connection refused message when attempting to click on any link on the page (for example, when attempting to click on more and get the entire news story). I've no idea what setting is causing this and I don't see it either on my work machine or my notebook. I've tried changing security settings in IE to no avail. There's something I'm missing here and if anyone has any idea what it might be let me know. I'm tired of seeing this error page instead of full story on Yahoo. :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Do you know if there is some sort of 'proxy' server between your computer and their internet ? Are you using any sort of firewall software and what OS are you running ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytarget Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 no proxy here at home - i do have wireless set up for my notebook - but this problem predates the hooking up the base for that between the system and the cable modem i'm pretty sure i've hosed up some setting in xp pro, i just have no idea what setting or service i've messed up - hell, just for kicks i turned on every service in xp pro just on the chance one of them might affect this - no effect whatsoever :mad: by the by, i'm running xp pro and the firewall i was running was the one built into xp pro - since going with the wireless base station which is also a router i've turned off the firewall in xp pro because the wireless connection wouldn't work with it on - turning it off didn't affect the issue either [ February 17, 2003, 10:07 PM: Message edited by: easytarget ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytarget Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 btw, this is not browser dependent either, i've tried opera, IE, mozilla and slimbrowser with the same results [ February 17, 2003, 11:12 PM: Message edited by: easytarget ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
