    Hi,

    I'm having an odd computer problem. I can't log-in to my Yahoo mail page. Everytime I try I get a "The page cannot be displayed" message.

    It's very strange. Any online account I have to log-in for and enter my user name and password gives me that error page.

    I'm using Internet Explorer but installewd Mozilla to try and get around the problem but when I open the Mozilla browser, it says it can't conect to the server.

    I downloaded spybot to see if I can clean out any spyware but spybot gives me a message that says I can't check for spyware unless I download the proper updates. But something is preventing spybot from doing this..

    Any help would be appreciated...Thanks...

    The problem of using computer is not availability of talent or knowledge, but inadequacy to access and practice it.

    In Mozilla Firefox, Go to

    Tools --> Options.. --> Advanced ---> Connection [Settings]

    At first try with, Direct connection to internet and try and if it doesn't work, try providing the proxy details your ISP has provided.

    Try to delete all your temporary internet files, and your browsers cache. If you have any antivirus/firewall check that it doesn't block Yahoo.
