ive done that and it still wont let me, i even tried downloading a different browser like firefox and it still wont let me check any email services at all

Did you configure Security settings for the Trusted sites zone in IE: IE, Tools, Internet Options, Security tab, select Trusted sites, Default Level. Sites, enter the address (URL) of the site in the Add this Web site to the zone: box, Add, OK, Apply.

Check Firewall/Network Configuration?

 

[Jennifer2222]

yeah i just tried that, i still cant check my email, i see my email or how many emails i have but it wont take me to the inbox or anything

Do you have Norton's by any chance?

It seems like something is prohibiting you from connecting to a secure site

Try this here. Go to run and type in Winipcfg and then click on "reless all" and then on "renew all".

yeah i got norton, and avg, and today i had a guy put up some firewalls for me also, i dont know if that might be it, and also he said i should do a windows update and i tried that and it wont even let me do a windows update it gives me some kind of error

Well for Norton you can try this:

Open the product.
Click Privacy Control.
If using Norton Internet Security , Norton Internet Security Professional, or Norton Personal Firewall 2003 or 2004, click Configure.
Click Custom Level.
Make sure that the option "Enable Secure Connection" is checked.
Click OK and OK again.
Close your browser.
Close the product.
Open your browser and try to connect.

Either that or a port might have to be opened somewhere

Thanks for jumping in, Harry

Try what I said in my above post. This is what you have to do any time you add or take away a router.

Also you have to give the ok for your email program to get tru your firewall.

no none of that stuff worked either, i dont know what to do now to get into any email accounts it wont work on the other computer i have either

Cheeseball81 will have to tell you how to use Norton's firwall because I don't know how but I bet it is blocking you because it was not setup right.

If you go into Internet Properties - Connections - LAN settings

Is Use a Proxy checked?
