Internet woes--help!
 

Hi,

I'm such a non-tech guy it is laughable.

I recently downloaded sygate personal firewall pro [someone said I should...I'm not even sure if it is configured correctly] to run on my Dell [don't know details, it is a work laptop].

Since I did this a lot of websites [I use the latest version of IE and connect through a cable modem]I visit don't have the images showing up [they did before]. Either I get a Red X or a message saying the site can't be found...I also have problems linking from one site to another [I shop online through ebates and upromise and can't link to any sites, for example]

My two questions are:
1- What did I do?
2 How do I fix it?

Thanks!!!

not knowing anything about the firewall itself sounds like the settings are too high, if they are set at default maybe bump then down to a medium level or something like that will help the problem.

I am not familiar with the program so i cannot say exactly what settings to adjust or move.

hope this helps

i don't know much about sygate pro, but if it comes with an ad-blocker, you may want to turn it off and see if that fixes things. if so then you'll just need to readjust those particular settings.
