Mozilla not connecting to the internet ( but IE does)
Ok, here is what I have done. I could not connect mcafee to the registration server for some reason and I thought it had something to do with mcafee using mozilla as the default browser. I decided to delete mozilla ( cause I could not figure out how to make mcafee look for ie) and then I had the same problem.
I decided to go back to a checkpoint before i had done all this and when i did this all came back as planned but when I opened mozilla the mozilla picture came up and then quickly disapeered.
I think used fixit utility 5 to clean the registery out and then installed firefox. Firefox worked fine except that it didnt connect to the internet. I deleted firefox and then installed from the site mozilla.
Mozilla did the same thing ( would not connect to the internet).
I did a restore of the registery ( using fixit 5 ) and tried to use mozilla and it still did not work ( although this time when I went to site to download mozilla it did not download it just started installing it. I tried firefox again and no internet connection.
All this time Ie has worked
the only other thing that I did was Tech support for mcafee in refrense to not being able to register the virus scan ( she had me change some settings in internet options) but they all changed back after the restore. IE didnt work after her changes but worked fine after the restore (system restore)
I hope someone can help because Gates sux and I dont want to use microshaft for browsing the internet.

Since IE can get out just fine, but everything else seems to be blocked, it sounds like a firewall problem, but we would need more info.
Operating system, firewall, macafee version, etc.....

Don't disable your firewalls. I know that ZoneAlarm will prevent new applications to access the net, even when disabled. I had to reinstall ZoneAlarm once, just to get a browser to access the net. Try turning your firewall back on, then allow access for the Mozilla products.
Burn Linux distro of choice to cd. Place cd in cd-rom, boot. Follow the directions. Enjoy.

Here is suggestion: Someone else had strange connection problems that could not be traced back to anything like firewalls. They ran a program called Winsockfix which solved the problem. You can get it at www.majorgeeks.com
