Question/Problem:
I have a wireless network with my Dell Inspiron 6400 and a Belkin router. Before, I used to be able to access adobe.com and style.com with no problems. Now, I can't even access them on the laptop and get the "Unable to connect" page on both Firefox and IE. Even pictures hotlinked from style.com don't show on my brower. I can access google.com and yahoo.com with no problems though. I was on the phone with Belkin, my router provider, for over an hour on how to fix it but no luck. Funny thing is, if I were to connect the laptop directly to the DSL line, the sites access perfectly.
Is it a firewall problem? I don't think it's a spyware problem but it's always possible.
Operating System and VERSION: Windows XP SP2
Web Browser and VERSION: Internet Explorer 6, FireFox 2.0.0.9
Your level of experience: Intermediate
Duration of problem: 2 weeks
Any steps you've taken to troubleshoot?
I've disabled the Windows firewall and unstalled and restalled McAfee with no luck.
Belkin told me to download a Dr. TCP program and still, no luck.
