Okay..my internet explorer won't always connect. It says there's a problem
with my TCP port 80..that its behind a firewall or something. I know very
little about computers..and dont want to take it to get it fixed because i'm
sure its probably a simple fix..but port 80 is allowed on my McAffee and
windows firewall is disabled..does anyone please have any suggestions?

Hi,
First try, from Internet Options> Connections> LAN Settings> Proxy server -
Use a proxy server, try this checked and unchecked.

Next, as a test, turn on the Windows Firewall and prevent McAfee from
loading at startup, from within the program or from Start> Run> MSCONFIG>
Startup tab. Restart. If the problem goes away, you may have to dig deeper
into McAfee's settings.

Hope this helps,
Don
