Do as the Junkman sayeth. It has saved my butt due to a power shortage a few times also. If all else fails, put your Windows disc back in and reload.

Well,

I found the problem. I called tech support for my cell phone tower. Yep, since last Wednesday they have been having problems. Evidently the tower is stopping most of the traffic and only certain sites?? Why this I don't know. So until they find the problem they had me open up a port on my router and in my LAN connections. Everything is working, I don't like the idea of opening up a port but have to live with it until they fix the tower.

murph, thanks to all who tried helping me.

Glad things worked out. I've followed the thread, but didn't comment as (1) getting involved in a computer issue when you can't get your hands on the computer to play with it, or get to it via "remote desktop" (which is how my son and I solve my wife's or daughter's frequent computer woes), is a losing proposition, unless the problem is REAL simple, and (2) if your computer boots to XP, and you can get on the net except for certain sites the problem is not going to be solved by router/modem reboots or XP system restores unless your net site password files got corrupted/infected (but, then, you should have been getting a screen prompt, or some very large bills on your VISA card placed by some folks frpm Ethiopia or Russia). So, a local network router issue - - at least they fessed up - most tech supports would deny such.
