Why is my computer not letting me bid on ebay? ......

[mrsmaidamess]

....or open Windows messenger to check my Hotmail, or let me see my internet bank log in page.

Its like anything where I have to input information is blocked. My MN settings were all to cock when I switched it on too.

Any clever folk out there? Theres some Philosophy foundation I want to bid on, so its life and death!

I checked on the diagnostics page (total computer thicko) and it says there may be a problem with our proxy and/or firewall settings.

Heh?? How do I begin to sort that out?
