all these windows password reset questions,
and get back to something else ?
–
here’s a problem that’s just all of a sudden started on my main workstation,
I now can’t access mozilla anything can’t update add-ons etc.
the add-ons manager gets nowhere, no network activity shows and all the add-ons report back with
“there was a problem . . .”
and when I phone home to mozilla
(help, > check for updates)
to see if there are any firefox updates
I get a dialog with
“the connection was refused”
wtf.
I even blasted the system today and restored to a month old clean backup
where everything was working up to this past Tuesday
the add-ons manager would report back, “There are no updates for …”
here’s the rub;
if I go over to one of my old win2K boxes on the same network,
I don’t have the problem of no access to mozilla . . .
it was working last night an this morning
but when I fired up the main workstation: -> no go, no connecting to mozilla . . .
Spybot S&D says: no problems
MBAM says: no problems
ESET is about 35% into a full scan and has already completed the C:\ with no problems found
this system,
which let’s me connect to just about anything else as I’m posting this from the problem workstation
I have an ongoing problem of the BS “server not found”
junk when trying to access MS anything and that happens across the network on any system
but a hearty handful of quick repeated refreshes via the address bar and the enter key I can usually connect but so far no go with mozilla. . .

Firefox 3.5.10 was .11 but can’t get updates now
basically need to know what if anything can be done:
I even tried removing & re-installing the NIC before blasting the whole thing to restore from the backup
