Guest MaryEllen Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 This may seem like a simple problem but I just can't seem to get things to work. My husbands computer was working fine yesterday, this morning he can't connect to the internet even though his computer is showing that he has a connection. We only get a "The connection has timed out" message. I've tried everything including running a virus scan and can't get it to connect. Any suggestions?

ZoneAlarm has fixed it, and there's a new version available to download on their web site. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
