Internet problem Created 19 years ago2004-05-18 13:45:40 UTC by Quaver

I could proberly ask this somewhere else but i cant be asked. Anyway, i cant seem to get onto MSN Messanger and certain websites. Like if i go on hotmail.com it works but then i comes up with "HELP/NAVIGATION ERROR - Forbidden Access to this URL is Forbidden" if i try to get into my account. Its only with this computer and i have several conected to my internet.

It comes up with the error on the page and it has somin to do with Internet optimiser by the side of the page. If it any help my internet runs through a router to distribute the internet.

I think thats about iy, any ideas.

It's your Firewall Quaver. My friend had just the same problem today. I said him to turn off his firewall and see. When he did that the problem was solved. (Might be an update or something)

I would not recommend using that as a long-term fix, just check if it works.

Perhaps try changing the affected computer's network IP?

Well im pretty sure i havent got a firewall, is there one that comes with xp? Also i its only been a recent problem and ive had the connection for about 6 months

yes, XP has its own, pink lace built in one.
and i dont think u even can put it off 0.o

You can. I'd show you how but I have XP SP2-RC and that's different from Service Pack 1. Decent routers have hardware firewalls? Yours may.

Service pack? Should i get it?

YES! At least SP1.

Theres a small problem, no popup box apperars or anything. It says somin about active X and i remember error boxs appering with somin to do with active x, what is this and could it be the problem?

Yay, everything seems to be working, microdoft trouble shooter helped, thanks for all our help though
