Getting kicked offline

[matt670]

This problem just started and there was no event that damaged anything. Whenever I try to load Yahoo! or Pogo games, I get kicked offline instantly with no error message. Java seems to be fine and Fantasy football on Yahoo! Loads with no problems. I have checked everything. I even did a restore and nothing worked.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Oh Yeah, went I went to run a Java test from the Sun site, I got kicked off as well. It seems anything that even says Java kicks me off. The settings still seem to be ok though.

What browser are you using?

Are there any clues in your Event Viewer?

By restore do you mean System Restore or re-installing Windows?

Make sure your options in IE/ Tools/ Internet Options/ Advanced are correct.

Uncheck the boxes for "Install on Demand" for IE and Other programs (two boxes).

Try running temporarily with the third box "Enable Third Party Browser Extensions" unchecked and see how this goes.

"This specifies that you want to disable features you installed for use with Internet Explorer that may have been created by companies other than Microsoft.
If you encounter problems with Internet Explorer that you cannot resolve, you can use this option to help determine if third-party features are causing the problems without uninstalling the feature. You must restart Internet Explorer after turning this option on or off."


If that stops your errors, you will know where the trouble is.
