Buwahahahah...FINALLY got rid of that dreaded dial up...whew....So....sorry if I'm gonna be a post whore for the next day or so

Congrats. :p I remember when I had 24k dialup not too long ago. It took forEVER to do anything, and disconnections were rampant.

Highspeed is so much nicer isn't it?

OH yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You dog!!!
I'm getting Roadrunner on Thursday. I can't wait. I hate dial up.

Thats what I got...LOL


ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT

Screw dialup! High speed ownz!

Surfin with High speed cable at home

Welcome. You will never go back!

RoadRunner Is sweet!!!!

Hope its more stable then my college's network. I downloaded a song (this was actually legal) at 612 bps, not kbps. Then an hour later, download a game demo at 1100 kbps. Its great when its not overloaded.

High speed rules, I got it about six months back once the cable company finally made it's way out into the country. Road Runner has been pretty stable so far, and a vast improvement over dial-up

So the guy shows up last night at 7:00, at 12:30 he left and I still have no high speed i-net.
We think my nic is bad. I've never used it. I'm going to buy a new one tonight and plug it in and see if it works.

The thing about my computer... a lot of the factory software was loaded up on the morning of 9/11/01. You can see the times and the last recorded time is around 8:45-8:55am, then nothing after that. The days start up agian on 9/12/01. Kinda freaky...

I like Roadrunner, Now the USB connection rather than the standard Eithernet, i dont like, but i heard they are the same, time warner saving some money i guess. Every once and awhile my conn acts up but with constant maintenance and a good Tweaker TCP Opimizer im satisfied with a steady 3.84 mb . Well untill Optical is availible for me. Soon, i cant wait.

for some reason, I now CANNOT get into any secure sites...I tried everything....lowering the firewall, accept all cookies...blah blah blah..

I suck at the internet and it ticking me off

Try looking under Customize Privacy Settings in the Privacy CP and ensure that Secure Connections are enabled.

Also, what version of NIS/NPF do you have?

BTW, there's almost no risk in briefly disabling the PF whilst your browse HTTPS sites.

Perchance do you have the XP firewall on as well?

No highspeed here, just 5 miles from my house most people have cable, my town sucks they signed a petition to not allow cable to come into this area, now the telephone company wont even put in dsl, whah I hate dialup I hate dialup I hate dialup.

WOO HOO....
vvvrrrrrOOOOOOO....

...OOOOoommmmmm.
Beep beep.


I'm flyin' now!

did all of that, and no go

Hmm.
I know this must be annoying but could you explain the problem to me again.

The basis ive got so far is
Windows XP platform (os)
Windows and Norton Firewall
Norton Anti-vir.
No sec. sites working.

The following information is not necessary but will help.

Explorer your main server? (aol/roadrunner/etc.etc.)
Windows up to date? Leagal Windows version?
Norton up to date?
By chance any errors on startup? Or any other time?
Is your time correct? As in clock/calendar. ?

Try using Mozilla Firefox as a web browser instead of leaky, insecure Internet Explorer.

Well, I switched over to Mozilla Firefox, and the problem is solved!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats. Sorry i couldnt help you out. )

no problem....
