Help,
Using Win XP ver 5.1 service pack 1
Why is my connection refused when trying to go to:
download.microsoft.com or contact.microsoft.com

Tried connecting after unistalling Norton - didn't work, Norton has been
reinstalled now. Tried going through firefox - no go.

Sent myself IE and attempted to download it, again no luck.

Help and thanks
