Random Connection Refused Errors

by langlier . Updated 23 years, 3 months ago

Im running Windows XP Professional on my home PC. One day after moving my computer to a different location i noticed that i could no longer get into my hotmail account. It then furthered to no longer allow me to get to a majority of sites i regularly visit but allow me into others just fine. It often gives me a connection refused error. This occurs on the same sites using different browsers(Mozilla and Internet Explorer both updated to the newest versions as of 6/15/03) . Im using a non dial up cable modem hooked directly to a network card. Ive uninstalled my firewall and reinstalled it (Zonealarm). Ive checked the blocked sites and cleared them out. Ive uninstalled the network card completely and reinstalled it. I’m basically running out of ideas as im not sure where the problem is originating in this matter. I know the cable modem works fine as ive used it to update a friends computer. Can anyone point me in a direction to solve this problem?
