Re: I have an internet problem, what could be wrong??
Try disabling your free security programs, one by one, and see if the problem goes away. Start with Zone Alarm, it's the most likely culprit. Make sure to re-enable them afterward of course.
Also, run some on-line scans as listed in the FAQ: »Security »I think my computer is infected or hijacked. What should I do? just in case you are infected with something that's causing the symptoms.

by disabling, you mean just turning them off in the system taskbar? I've done that, but the problems don't go away. I'm assuming when I disable them, they should immediately turn off without requiring anything further... |

| i want to check my hosts file, like mentioned in that FAQ's, since I wonder if thats the problem. But that zip file for the program to view the hosts file doesn't download for me right. When I try to open it, it won't let me saying the file is corrupt or invalid. |

Is this what you wanted??
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost |
