I always get "connection refused when attempting to connect to ..." with any website entered in the address bar. I am using a router. Are there some ports that need to be opened? I can't get Mozilla to work even when I put the computer in DMZ. Internet Explorer works fine.
I try to escape the Internet Explorer demon, but it keeps pulling me back in!
*edit part about IE*

OK, I figured out what the problem was. It was crazy and I never would have guessed it. I do not have Zone Alarm on or in startup. But last time I ran it, I set "ad blocking" to medium.
I went to a website and saw there were X's where there should have been JPEGs. I noticed this was the same thing that Zone Alarm does. So I started up zone alarm, set ad blocking to off, then closed it. This made the sites pop up normally.
I said, hmm, and stated up Mozilla and Opera. Both work now! Crazy! Somehow Zone Alarm had set up some weird proxy even though it was not on.
