Question

Firewall is blocking my internet connection !

Apr 11, 2015 8:33PM PDT

Hi, I encountered a problem last week and it drives me crazy.

I can't surf the internet (nor wireless nor cable), when I put on problem solving, it says that probably my firewall is blocking my connection. But my firewall has default settings.

What can I do?
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance

if using IE, check the security settings on it.
