Re my recent post, Some websites wont open... ' I have a desktop (host), wirelessly linked to a laptop. I have a Broadband modem and a router, both the same brand, also I am running Windows XP firewall. My home network operates fine and I am able to share the internet and files etc. However when I go to a website although I can access the website part of it I can't with my desktop but can with my laptop. For example when I go to my local library and want to access my account I can with the laptop but not with the desktop. I read somewhere how one needs to open ports, could this be the problem? I spoke to a couple of techs and one agreed and one didn't. One tech suggested I use DMZ the other tech said no. I'm confused. There was a lot more to the discussion some of which I grasped and some I didn't.' ------------- Could Java vers 5. update 9 have anything to do with this??? Sorry, but I am creating a new post as I felt maybe my last post will no longer be viewed. Many thanks all B.W.
