We changed to Internet Exployer and computers work better.I have a computer at the lake,on dial up and it will not work at all on Foxfire.The connection is not good enough to keep on line.Put it on IE works fine.

Not sure of your answers: is the problem solved (as marked) or not.

Did you go through the solution for the Firewall that you use.

When you say it works okay on new browser do you mean IE or do you mean if you reinstall Firefox. As far as I know it is the Firefox updates that get are mostly affected. What Firewall do you have.
