I have a weird problem with my computer. For some reason it won't allow me to connect to Google. When I used the troubleshooter, it came up with these things to try:
Unlock Firewall
Unlock Firewall and instantly allow all network traffic between your PC and any network, including the Internet.
1. In the Web and Email Protection drawer, click Firewall.
2. In the Security Levels drawer, select Outgoing Access, and then click Apply.
3. Click Done.
Open System Service Ports
Open an existing port to allow remote network access to a system service on your PC.
1. In the Web and Email Protection drawer, click Firewall.
2. In the Ports and System Services drawer, select a system service.
3. Click Edit.
4. Under Open ports to, do one of the following:
- To open the port to PCs on any network (for example, at home, work, or in a public location), select All PCs.
- To open the port to PCs on a work or home network only, select PCs in Work and Home networks only.
5. Click Save, and then click Done.
Allow Programs
Allow a blocked program on your PC to have full incoming and outgoing Internet access.
1. In the Web and Email Protection drawer, click Firewall.
2. In the Internet Connections for Programs drawer, select a program that has Blocked or Outgoing access.
3. Under Access, click Full.
4. Click Save, and then click Done.
Anybody know where I'd find the "Web and Email Protection Drawer"? Normally, I'd just go to Google and search for it, but...well...you know...
