Problems connecting with Opera

Platform: All platforms

When you have problems connecting to remote servers, please check the following:
Are your proxy settings correct? Is a proxy required to connect to the Internet? Have you tried disabling proxies? Check that the hostname/IP address and port number is correct.
Try enabling "Synchronous DNS" if it is disabled and disable it if it is enabled, in Opera's Network preferences.
Are you using Internet security software, such as ZoneAlarm orNorton Internet Security? Is this software properly configured? What happens if you disable this software?
Are you behind a firewall on your LAN? Is MS Proxy Server causing problems?
Does other software work? Other browsers? E-mail clients? If not, this is not an Opera related problem.
