i've spent the last 48 hours trying to fix this shit... with no luck. i was hoping maybe someone here can unfuck my situation:
i can't get internet explorer to load any page at all. it just sits there trying to connect for about 20 seconds... and then quits. i'm on a cable.. and i don't have a proxy set, i don't use a firewall, i haven't installed anything new recently.. and all my internet settings are the same as they've always been.
i can connect to icq, aim, or tcp/ip to aol and use this gay browser.. or run audiogalaxy. but i've tried netscape, opera, the winamp browser, the browser in GASS, and upgraded to internet explorer 6.0 and still no luck.
i've been on cable for about 4 years and have never had this happen. i tried calling my cables tech support, and they said that there is nothing they can do, because i can still connect to shit, so my connection is fine i guess. they told me it was my software, not their service.
i've tried everything that i can think of. maybe there is somehow a proxy set somewhere that i cant find or something?
also another thing... i dont know how gator got on my computer... ive never seen it load... or be installed.. and cant find the directory that it is in... i cant find it in the startup or registry... and i cant uninstall it from control panel.
but for some reason, about 45 seconds after i reboot, it pops up an error message saying that gator can't connect. i looked under a kill process before and after this error message and i don't even see it running.
if anyone can help me unfuck either one of these fuckups... i would be in debt to you forever. it is very irritating having to use aol.
