I have recently upgraded to Sprint DSL with the Sprint 645series dsl modem(Zyxel 645m plus ASDL Modem-Bridge) I am running Win2000 SP3 and IE5.5 SP2 with all proper security patches. I was a Earthlink Dial up customer before I switched to Srint DSL with Earthlink. I can not reach PayPAl. I get Page cannot be displayed. I have gone threw all basic reasoning. Have all new DNS servers. Earthlink and Sprint are telling me it is a Security issue. I can not Ping it , Tracert to it, telent to it but Ican Nslookup. My security settings are set the way Microsoft Technet said set them. I do not know what else to do. Just for your knolwledge I work for a very large NWSC and Data NOCC. Is it possible it is this Sprint DSL Modem. I should have bought that CISCO DSL modem/router right. I got the Sprint for free. Can you help. Is it a registry key or IE problem. HELP!! Need paypal bad. Thank You

First, if you are using the IE from Earthlink, you are using a customized version. Check the Internet Option settings, Advanced TAB for your SSL and TLS settings, next check Internet Option settings, Security TAB. If PayPal requires https:, enter the address under Trusted Sites. Lastly, click on Help from within IE and see what the Cipher Strength is, should be 128-bit, upgrade if not.
