I cant see Techs discussion links!?!?

For some reason now, my firewall has blocked the message links. I can get to the discussion page okay but when it loads, all I see are the discussion numbers and the members name but the link to the discussion is gone!?!? Once I drop my firewall, its fine. Laptop works okay but I can not figure out the troubled desktop. IE has been set to all defaults, 6.0 sp1 installed, fresh installs of norton firewall 2002…….. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! It has to be a system setting somewhere but I dont know where, as, like I said, my laptop is okay with the same firewall.
