The batteries in my crystal ball died. You're going to have to provide more info.

Thanks, Yep, I'm online with M$OE, so the network is fine, but Mozilla Firefox seems to be getting blocked. I ran HiJackThis, RegMech, SUPERANTISPYWARE, F-Secure Anti-Virus, PC Pitstop, Trojan Killer, NOTHING. The problems started with the new upgrade to Firefox. I'm using WIN XP Sp3.

After an upgrade firewalls usually consider FF a "new" program. You should have been prompted to allow it access to the Internet, but sometimes that doesn't happen with some firewalls. -- Ed Mullen http://edmullen.net Always try to be modest.
